    Shocking, that when a company’s real purpose and focus is to make a product for customers, as opposed to making money for the investors, it is better for the customers…

    Gabe dying is the major thing I fear in my life… It’s the last compamy I know about that’s not getting enshitiffied.

      Ehh, I’m a big fan of valve but their hands are not perfectly clean. They do run the gambling machine for a shitfuck ton of money, even putting aside the rest of steam.

      Now ofc, that whole “the rest of steam” part is still there and is obviously their main income, I recognize. And MOST importantly, fuck Sweeny and that dogshit other place. I just think we do give valve maybe not enough discredit sometimes?

      The major thing? Not global thermonuclear war? Not global warming leading to massive political and economic instability? Not democratic backsliding?

      I like my PC games as much as the next guy, but let’s be reasonable: It’s just a luxury good.

        Someone: “I just had the worst day”

        DdCno: “Oh, the Worst day? Did you get diagnosed with cancer? Did you get hit by a bus and suffer full body paralysis? Did you lose your home and entire family in a fire? I don’t understand figures of speech!”
