Oh yeah, Steam is not perfect by a long stretch. It mostly looks good by comparison with it’s competitors who appear to take being gently asked NOT to shit directly down their customers throats as basically a death threat. Was just pointing out that saying Gabe doesn’t give a shit is incorrect, as he does give a shit insofar as giving a shit has actually turned out to be the best long term strategy for Steam.
- Comment on As Xbox and PlayStation flounder, Steam is reportedly having another record year 19 hours ago:
GoG appears to be around 2.5% market share as of November 2025. For contrast, Steam is around 75%.
Frankly, I don’t give a shit about Epic Games. Tim Sweeney can go suck-start a shotgun for all I care, complete piece of shit human being.
- Comment on As Xbox and PlayStation flounder, Steam is reportedly having another record year 19 hours ago:
Well, that’s just objectively incorrect. Gabe at least recognizes that piracy is a service problem and being consumer friendly is more profitable in the long-term. People like Asha and Hideaki can’t seem to figure that one out no matter how much evidence is given to them.

Yeah… that’s not how that shit works in practice if you’re trans in far too many places…

If all your neighbors shoot themselves in the face, it’s not your fault they did that.

Right? Like, I love GoG. If I’m able to get something on GoG I typically will, even if it means paying a higher price to do so. But that’s definitely not because it’s a better platform to use. It’s because I appreciate their stance on DRM and support for keeping old games playable on new systems. I buy from them despite GoG Galaxy, not because of it.

Will they actually devote the resources to try to pierce the anonymity of those handful of people?
Given how rapidly they’ve been trying to tighten their grip lately? Yes. They want to know everything about everyone all the time. And they don’t give two shits if we consent to it.

PETA wants to shame the turkey’s entire bloodline by causing them to dishonourably die of old age. Why does PETA hate turkeys?
- Comment on Lutris now being built with Claude AI, developer decides to hide it after backlash 3 months ago:
More likely if we can’t tell then it was always shit. AI can’t write good code for anything non-trivial.

I mean, a reasonable person would choose to stop rather than becoming an unethical egotistical fuckwit…

I think what they are saying is that they’d rather the burden be distributed equitably across the populace instead of placing the burden entirely on good people.
- Comment on Don't we all hate this 4 months ago:
It ends up being net zero. They’re only writing off the money you donated. They still have to count the money you donated towards their overall revenue, increasing their tax bill, but then they pass the donation on, allowing them to write it off, reducing their overall revenue (and thus their tax bill) to what it would have been if you hadn’t donated.

Cool, latch on the least important reason we did it and ignore the others while acting like you’re somehow superior for doing so I guess.

The wolves were driven off for a reason. They had a tendency to snack on pets, livestock and small children until they learned to fear us. Those issues all come back if they stop fearing us again.
- Comment on Littering 🚯 4 months ago:
I mean, kinda yes, kinda no. We generally weren’t hunting predators primarily for meat, but for community safety. The meat was a byproduct of not wanting a bear or something to decide our children would make for a tasty snack.

Right? People have been doing crazy shit to make non-ideal hardware work for them pretty much since computing was invented lol

Sure, but republicans don’t care if their candidate is sane (obviously). Democrats do.
