Personally i think people are throwing away money and freedom for convenience. but thats just my opinion so please don’t shoot me. I’ve never used any of those services, never used any streaming service either, i never game online (always offline against the cpu) and i don’t use music streaming services either. but that isn’t to say i’m trying to tell anyone here to stop using steam (although i did make a remark like that once), use whatever you like, its just me personally i never used it and never will. and i’m pretty surprised to see any steam users in a piracy lemmy, thats all. i wasn’t expecting that.

Steam+Linux works better than pirated games + Linux, and I would much rather spend a bit of money on games than have to use the dumpster fire that is windows.

To be fair, isn’t convenience the point of money? Yes, I could spend time to pirate a game and make it work. Or I can pay 20$ and have it working, while encouraging an indie dev.
