Yep, although there are a ton of other ways to do it as well such as a good rewards points system, or a raffle system with bonus games won when purchasing, or similar. As long as you don't spend years antagonising your customers first, I don't expect game stores would struggle to compete offering better prices than Steam, even at the cost of features.

I have no idea how any other platform can really achieve competitor status with steam
Aside from all the (other) obvious options replicating Steam, theres always the tried and true option of offering lower prices. To my knowledge, no one has been willing to try that yet.
Because on every other platform, a title like that won't compete with clickbait and ragebait. Its only really here (and to a lesser extent Reddit) where clickbait negatively impacts a video's spread. Until people want to post here specifically, that won't change.
Tldr:
This update fixed a crash when using the magnifier tool while game recording is active
Tech, from my experience, has a lot of job postings, but its very difficult to actually get an interview nonetheless a job. I'm not entirely sure why its so difficult, as there does seem to be a pretty big need for it across the board. My best guess is mix of companies needing employees but not being willing to hire/train them leading to "fake" postings (alongside those just meant for data collection), and just a generally competitive market right now.
Better than early CS:GO levels, but not as good as late, official CS:GO levels. That said, part of that is for performance and functionality sake, given that I wantted to leave the play area as clear as possible.
I made a fairly pretty Counter Strike level.
I'm not sure if we'll see Deadlock introduce the same features as Dota, but if they do, I've found Dota's casual modes really great for low-stress, fun games. The difference maker in Dota compared to a lot of other games is that SBMM is still used, but less strictly and its all hidden so you (and your friends) can't fixate on it but also don't get stomped every game. We'll have to see how Deadlock's development pans out, but given that its Icefrog and Valve working on it, and they already seem to be working from lessons learned in Dota, I think theres pretty good odds.
At the same time, the goal of dark patterns to to make people spend more money. Given that revenue is very likely one of the key things Google wants (and thus promotes) out of apps, its also entirely expected that the apps people find are largely those who try and get the most money from users, which requires dark patterns.
Ahhhhh. 4 dozen.
I think my blocklist is about 1/3 spam, 1/3 hatespeach, blatent disinformation and promoting genocide, and 1/3 untagged nsfw. Its a couple dozen users right now.
On my old account it was hundreds (almost all hate-speech, disinformation, and promoting genocide), but Hexbear has been defederated and I've givien up and blocked .ml so I don't run into much of that anymore.
