I'm literally installing windows right now. I feel disgust, but I need it for one application that I know will never have a Linux version. I got tired of the slow as shit virtual machine I used for it before. I can't replace it with an alternative either, for business reasons.
For steam I only use their proton compatibility layer for my "DRM free games", I only bought Terraria on their store and I rarely play it these day I'll play it again when 1.4.5 come out
It's crazy how it's absolutely impossible to criticize steam without getting bashed to oblivion by so-called gamers. The amount of free balls sucking Steam gets is just ridiculous. They have sub 100 employees , take 30% of every god damn games sold on the platform and you don't own you games. Yeah it's a cool platform, but in the end it's just another nasty capitalist business.
Which company is the cool one?
The one running an illegal online casino for minors.
Valve are irresponsible. Either it should moderate its forums or there shouldn't be any. All the time we see fascist rhetoric about 'DEI' and 'Woke'. We've reported some but they functionally are useless, so why have them?
