OK, sure. If Valve bans you, how are you going to install your games?

I know that on GOG I can download the installer, back it up, share it with friends and family, and they can install it. Do the same with Steam.

And finally, Valve is a USAian company. GOG is European. That is pretty important.

How so? I’d expect getting people willing to publish their games there, regardless of the payment system, to be the problem.

What we need is an alternative store where opensource games can make money. That would change the business.

ps: You are already not buying games when you pay for them on Steam.

True, use GOG.

And here, a perfect example. “there are only two sides, hurr durr”. Thanks for proving my point.

And, of course, just in case you’re the type of centrist hack

I grow weary of limited USAian “there are only two truths” viewpoint. It’s high time we cut the cord from US media and all the bullshit opinions that come with it. They have managed to make being rational and level-headed a curse word. “centrist” 🙄 People who unironically use that word in a derogatory fashion sound like those who still believe in things like the disney portrayal of the world. “real love”, “true love”, “forever and ever”

why?

Fuck linux forums, honestly. Unironically have gotten better and less judgemental help from LLMs.

Just don’t go to the US.

They are doing you a favour. Thank them.

They can’t even drink Driz Izzle.

Wat?

Keep voting “against immigrants”. Surely they are to blame for everything wrong in this world. Just as “the queers”. Anybody different in fact is the problem, especially if they are less fortunate than you, and doubly more if they cannot defend themselves. Those that are successful, rich and powerful though, earned it all by themselves and are fully deserving of it. They are just trying to help this country. Don’t you dare look up to see where money is going. Look down.

Erurt?

We are so easily controlled.

What the fuck is this?

Most money for AAA games goes to investors anyway. Piracy is a net-positive.

Gamers don’t care. They’ll buy the thing even if it meant selling their grandmother.
