    and the bulk of the users can enjoy being forced to upgrade to hardware with even more spying being the only difference just to run a shittier version of their old operating system rental cloud compute and game streaming. I’ll reassess when gabe dies or if they start firing off u.s. politics level red flags but worst case I have drm free/stripped copies of every game I might play again or recommend on offline hdd and tape.

        and literally every other company is aready doing their version of ‘that’ to their clients but yes lets attack the ones that haven’t yet then if they do I guess we can switch back to ignoring it like the rest of them

          Aren’t you bothered by the fact that most Valve games these days rely on gambling for monetisation? Aren’t you bothered they don’t make an effort not to advertise gambling to children unless forced to like in Netherlands or Belgium?

            that should absolutely be regulated globally and it better damn well include roblox and literally every gacha and shooter game too. Parents should really be doing the wallet voting and politician mailing there but I’ve seen dads quiet their kids by letting them roll gacha on the phone while waiting to pay for food and when I told my friends about the pedos on roblox situation they told me off saying I don’t know what its like to have kids… When the parents are happy to feed their children to the machine what the fuck can I do about it?

              If gambling can be regulated then why not monopolies? This was more to point out Valve won’t behave unless forced to.
