“make yourself suffer”

I open Steam, switch to the library open my game and play

I open Epic, open my game from the main screen and play

So much suffering! Heck, I also sent more money to the devs through that suffering!

“Making yourself suffer” by boycotting Steam.

It goes against every fiber of my being to not utterly despise a multi-billion dollar corporation, but I just don’t have the energy that I used to. I have to pick the battles I want to fight, and they haven’t done enough to make it worth it for me to do that.

  Never said I boycott Steam, I said I don’t boycott any of them

If you think taking a 30% cut to enrich a billionaire isn’t enshitifaction then I don’t know what to tell you buddy.

Most of the 30% cut goes to developing the store, software, and even hardware. Valve has worked to make gaming on Linux way more feasible and easy, popularized handheld PC’s, made game streaming simple, etc.

Meanwhile EGS took 2 whole years to add a shopping cart to their online store and had multiple data breaches. That is what I call enshitification
