  • I understand the general sentiment, but this whole “we’re no longer a democracy” is at best bullshit and at worst a dangerous statement to repeat. There’s a lot to fix in the US democracy (and somehow money involved isn’t even the most critical issue right now), but simply stating it doesn’t exist could empower some really destructive behaviour. Try living next to Russia for some perspective.

    What you’re saying is “inevitable” hasn’t happened for the entire 20+ years of Steam. I’m going to guess Valve is going to continue being a private company and doing whatever the fuck they want, without investor pressure towards enshittification.

    Steam’s monopoly is actually what’s holding PC gaming together. Other types of digital distribution services are so fucked up by exclusivity deals that any “competition” is always going to mean “megacorporation uses existing wealth to deny competition”.

    Epic is trying really hard to bring the exclusivity nightmare over to PC gaming as well, but so far Valve still holds.
