so its technically possible to run excel with excel

Whole point of fediverse was to get away from all that shit, why let them crawl in?

Why would they care, people are just tools to them.

Another reason why everyone should stay clear of places that exploit workers, it could be you who orders food when someone had to come work sick.

Why would anyone want millions of users to come here? Everything that becomes popular or has potential to make a lot of money is always ruined eventually.

That is true. I shall try to keep your point in mind actually, I should add this to the list of things i need to consider about backing stuff up and preserving things I can that might disappear.

There are many hills to die on about what is wrong with the world and I dont think steam is among the first one should choose imo. But yea, there are things that could be better with steam even if I personally havent had problem with it. Its just that valve not being just as shitty as other corporations seems to be the best we can hope for. I rather have them than nothing or something worse.

I’d say i have 1/4 unplayed games, maybe little less because I have many games that I played before steam started tracking gametime. But most of those are from family share anyway. I find it insane how some people just buy games and never even install them.

And I know there is no way I would be getting anything back if steam suddenly shut down, you are effectively buying a licence to play anyway instead of full ownership. But this is the world we have to put up with and steam is the least shit thing about how game industry works nowdays. Without steam I effectively just couldnt play games by now, which is also kind of troubling. Though if steam never existed and there had been nothing like it, managing all the games would have been nightmare even if you ignore updating them.

And after some years, launcher-launcher-launcher

Do you even use steam? There is reason why its so loved. Everything else they bring is good enough price for me for steam being a launcher and drm.

Only problem I have with steam is worrying what will happen if valve goes bad or disappears in the future. But I hope it has sunk in to them by now that they will get much more money by being customer friendly and nice instead of being pieces of shit like some of the competition. I still hope that gog will become good competitor to steam.
