3 days agoI think people tend to be naive about Steam.
I mean, I DO think that Steam is miles better than Sony/Microsoft/Nintendo/Epic and I would say they’re probably one of the biggest responsibles to make Linux that much more popular (both for consumer and for devs) in the latest years.
But I don’t know what’s gonna happen to Steam after Gabe Newell leaves. I think there’s a huge risk for a dramatic shift in Valve / Steam monetization and culture. Things are fine now, but that’s still a corporation, and shareholders will want to get the last drop out of it just as these shitheads do to everything else.
I particularly couldn’t care less about Game Pass at this point. I’m just fine without paying Microsoft for anything. But I suppose that’s good for those who still uses Windows just for that. At least I find it interesting to have Linux supporting software that it wasn’t technically suppose to at first.
