Comment on Steam has the best UI
kautau@lemmy.world 3 days agoIt’s most certainly still a corporation, that’s the way a business is organized, but you’re correct that because of their private ownership steam hasn’t fallen to the levels of the other gaming platforms that are constantly trying to tweak their UX toward engagement. I do wish they’d clean up their UI a little, but if that comes at the cost of keeping the platform how it is, I’m fine with it.

oh, i guess you’re right. they’re just a privately owned corporation. regardless of specific terminology the point stands. they aren’t publicly traded and certainly aren’t a megacorp. and i also don’t agree with evening they do. i generally like gog better.
people are just always painting things like this with way too broad of a stroke. there’s a serious problem with conglomeration. Sony is a megacorp in the gaming space. a true megacorp that makes and has a gigantic hand in almost everything. from tvs to music to books to weapons of war. they exist solely to absorb wealth from any and all spaces they can. I’m real bummed about them acquiring kadokawa recently… it will not be good for games, anime, manga, or light novels.
