- aaomidi 2y agoSuddenly? - steam families - removing the monopoly of windows gaming on PCs - removing a ton of game piracy by making a platform people want to use - progressing Linux desktop to be in a usable state ???
- navjack27 2y agoSounds like embrace, extend, extinguish to me. Jk
- johnnyanmac 2y ago>- removing the monopoly of windows gaming on PCs by becoming a monopoly? A lot of this ball started rolling because Wolfire accused Valve of price fixing. Pretty much the worst thing you can do. And if you didn't read the ToS update: this is 1) RETROACTIVE application of this arbitration (remember when we got mad at companies trying to apply terms to the past)? 2) option out requires you to delete your Steam account. Holding your potential hundreds or thousands of dollars of games as hostage. I don't think people realize how absurd this is. >removing a ton of game piracy Except when you need another third party account, then suddenly piracy is convinient again. >progressing Linux desktop to be in a usable state By relying on a windows environment, sure. I still yearn for native Linux gaming.
