How about "Customers in low income countries will pay the same full price for your game." as a pitch.

Having a hard time understanding what low income, sales price, and AI have to do with Valve.

The license is for the content of the post. Here, I put a separator.
Valve has regional pricing, making some games cost a tenth of the price in some regions. GoG does not, so you pay the US price.

e.g. I bought X4 for ~4x the price of Average AAA console games.
Though, in case of X4, it seems to have a similar price on Steam, most games tend to be cheaper with regional pricing.

And now I forgot to put a license on this one.

Don't use the dumb footer link. It doesn't do anything other than make sure everyone else points and laughs. You're better than that.

What's the problem with some laughter.

If there's nothing to laugh at, people usually pick a loner, harass them until they are angry/miserable and then laugh at them.

I'd rather, they laugh at this, which might also throw a wrench in the works of companies trying to get data without sifting through it properly.

Wouldn't it be even more fun if the AI chatbot got trained on this and started spewing out Anti Commercial-AI license in their results?

Narrator: It has no effect at all.

Its nice seeing more people using the license.

As a tip when I started doing this I started using a text expander so I didn't have to copy and paste all the time.

Well, KDE Clipboard seems to make it easy enough for me for now, but perhaps I will set a compose key for it if required.

My main problem tends to be forgetting to add it because I got too emersed in typing the comment.

And it's kinda useless to add it after the fact, so most of the time, it works because I copy the license first.
