    You’re the one getting mad at steam for things they could “maybe” do in the future. Stop incepting yourself with fantasy and then posting about it. “Hey guys you won’t BELIEVE what’s in this EULA” “Did you know TECHNICALLY valve could just do whatever they want?!?”

    From your post history you’re older, you know EULAs are so ignored across the board that they’re there for entirely legal reasons. Oh yeah a company that has done all this good, (for you especially, without valve it’s safe to say there would be ZERO Linux gaming support like there is now.) But we better be ready for something that’s just completely antithetical to their history of actions because of some creative writing episode you’ve dreamed up. Corporations are bad capitalism is bad, open software and Linux gaming only please. No rights, no AAA just indie titles and slow burn, artistically crafted projects of love.

    You’re like the vegans of computer science you’re insufferable.

    It’s to keep people from doing stuff like requiring refunds or court cases for being banned, VAC or otherwise. To make some things not technically gambling, etc.

    Valve is the paragon of gamers. They offer a great portal, free no bs family shares, pressure companies into sales on legacy software. Push VR from meme status (the oculus is even originally stolen valve tech look it up). Steam stream, steam controller, steam deck emulation of Nintendo switch, Jesus it’s endless.

    And still there are people like you out here who have to lead with complaints about a bunch of text which everyone knows is exclusively for legal piss matches against companies and troublemakers.

    I don’t know how you can be pleased by anything. Isn’t your life tiring living the life of a zealot? Or do you have just an unsatisfiable need to complain?

    I don’t really get what you’re saying. What right wing extremist views are more centrist now then say the 90’s?

    I kind of get this feeling like you’re about to give me some rant about “alt-right” behavior talking points, but people were definitely more sexist, ableist, transphobic, and racist back then compared to now it’s not even comparable. People were also way more religious, which is pretty auth right compared to now. Am I missing something?

    I think in the “real world” we’ve slid left for sure, but political discourse is more of a doughnut than a box now. Algorithms and engagement metrics have pushed content people read to be more extreme and enraging. People also like to join insular communities and hate bond over caricatures of their enemies. Reddit has many popular subreddits to that effect. Lemmy has a lot of left ones, but it seems like most of the right ones were driven off.
