Valve is one of the few billion dollar companies that hasn’t screwed me.

It’s weird how people who haven’t even researched Steamworks are suddenly professionals. If you speak to actual developers who use steam, they’ll point out that with a few lines of code, they can turn a game into multiplayer, and add features which allow them to compete against larger publishers… If you speak to users like me, i don’t give a shit about the pricing honestly. There are games I own on XBOX, Steam and meta, some duplicates. However, I use steam because I can play games I bought 10 years, and Steam have even allowed them to work on Linux by integrating proton. In fact, you can’t even tell they are for windows. And my saved games work on my Rog Ally, computer, and I can still load saved games from ages ago. I can use pretty much any controller, and load Emudeck on a Steam Deck. I’d actually argue that recently, Steam is the best thing that has happened to linux. If we didn’t have them, we’d be screwed
