What? Why does this imply that they're "abusive" or that they'd want to spend effort trying to find my "sleep schedule"?

Note that I'm not saying the bug shouldn't be fixed, but the original author clearly is just getting up in arms about it because he wants the bug bounty. Why others are being so alarmist I cannot understand, but I see this behavior a lot among the younger generation.

> We work in computing... scaling means small percentages are still big numbers

While I've also fallen into the trap of thinking "I'm so special because I work in computing" before, I can assure you we're not even close to the only industry that deals with scaling. The pencil manufacturer I mentioned before has a lot more scaling and also a lot more real-world consequences if they do something wrong.

It doesn't. You read wrong.

I'm not saying scaling is unique to CS, you did.

You said that the demographic is so small that Steam shouldn't care about the abuse. That it is an acceptable level.

I said it is a mistake to think that a small percentage is a small number and to focus on the actual number. Instead of asking yourself if 0.01% is an acceptable level of abuse, ask yourself if 3k people is an acceptable number of people being abused.
