  Of course, the company is not altruistic, but it’s privately owned and thus not pushed around by the whims of shareholders and short term profits.

  contribute to the abuse of game developers

  Proof?

  Gabe is not a monster. He’s using his money to support research and Valve is one of the few companies not enshittified. It has great pro-customer features like family share and a generous return policy.

  I don’t think we should have billionaires, but not all of them are parasites on society.

  You guys can do it. You’ve already managed to elect him twice.

  Yeah, do I hate the way things are? Absolutely!

  Will I do something about it, apart from talking and voting? No.

  I know this is part of the problem, and yet I feel zero motivation to do more, at least right now, because, as you mentioned, the basic needs are covered, and also because there’s still so much stuff to do (work, maintenance, …) and enjoy (music, movies, games, …)

  Yeah, it sucks to write this, but the capitalists were simply smarter than everyone else, and they’ve gotten to such a level of control and power that it seems like opportunities for any kind of systemic change are either incredibly hard or non-existent.

  I don’t think this situation is at all comparable to the time of past revolutions. There’s simply too much asymmetry here in not just wealth, but also knowledge, technology, focus and so on. So many people are distracted by trivial things, and if they’re fighting at all, than they’re fighting their neighbors with a slightly different political view.
