    Steam also places DRM and states in their EULA that you pay to license the title and not own it. Looks like your a Steam fanboy. We shouldn’t be fanboys of anything but simply notice the good and bagld companies do because either way they aren’t our friends

      Developers place DRM, that’s not s requirement of Steam publishing. Also, 99% of digital stores state you’re only buying a license. That’s a problem with modern society, not Steam.

        So Steam is part of the problem. They can simply not have that in their EULA. With that attitude no change will ever happen for the better

            That’s not what we’re doing. Not giving steam a pass for doing the same bad shit that you hate other companies for doing isn’t putting society’s ills into steam. It’s just not being hypocritical.

              Nobody said steam was better because of their EULA, so calling Steam out for something every developer on the planet does is what’s hypocritical.

      They demonized all actions of Valve, for the sake of defending Epic, even to the point of painting something that aids Linux adoption across the board as if it were a secretive, locked-down part of Steam’s environment. I pointed out the failure in that. Yeah, totally the same. 🙄

        That’s not remotely what I did, and I weep for the future if this is the level of reading miscomprehension we have to deal with.

          Lol, no. That was not objective. And on top of that, I was not taking the position you’re generalizing here.

          In short, what happened was, Bronzebeard made a cynical and destructive statement about the existence and development of Proton. I called them out by referencing what they said. Then, you came along, picked out some reasons to be angry with Valve, attributed them to me as though I said them, and acted as though pointing them out made you superior. We are not the same.

          It is at this point, will be disengaging, as my conversation with you started with you putting words in my mouth, and I have less than no interest in speaking to you further.
