I mean, yes.
Steam is a scary monopoly, getting scarier.
It's not their fault the industry (minus GOG) comitted mass seppuku.
Both can be true. One can worry about Valve, and use them hesitantly, while laughing at everything else like it's a cartoon.
It ain't a public company. Nothing scary about it.
People don't change in a dime when you get to gabens age. You tend to become stubborn and set in your ways.
What's scary is what the guy after gaben will do. But so long as gaben is around and the company is private we are fine.
How is steam a monopoly if they don't even own the biggest platform they sell games to? And even steam os being Linux has to be fully open to comply with the gpl meaning anyone can modify and install whatever they want.
I wouldn't classify it as "scary" quite yet.
Our benevolent yachtlord for life won't live forever. Next guy (or group of owners) may not be quite content with simply having a billion dollar yacht, might enshittify for more yachts quicker.
Point being, GabeN is no saint, but he shows restraint with his greed, if you can even call him greedy. Next guy might kill the golden goose and then we'll all have a fun time because all our games are all on Steam. That's the scary bit.
I would still wait until we know who the heir apparent is to worry.
I feel like a peasant waiting to find out if the good old king's son is gonna ruin everything.
Good news is his kids appear to be level headed like him.
As they say wealth never lasts past the third generation. Gaben built it up, his kids understand their father and keep it going. The grandkids are spoiled and don't get it and run it into the ground.
So we got time.
itch.io seems rather unproblematic
Except for you know the whole it actually is a huge f****** mess.
The payment processor thing was a mess, and they really went through and mass delisted a ton of things that did not meet the criteria, including a lot of SFW stuff.
The fact that they complied so readily, and overreacted so much, makes them pretty sus to me.
They used to be right below GOG for me, and I suppose they still are, but I trust them about as much as I trust Valve to not randomly delist things because some Karen in Australia whined.
agreed, i still dislike GOG'S AI take.
What happened, exactly?
All I can find is someone used an AI image for some kind of marketing.
I remember for a job requirement they want The developer to use AI or Smth
