    I like steam. They are a good pro customer company.

    As a developer steam isn’t as nice. They use their dominant market share which is close to a monopoly to take large cuts from developers. Even smaller ones.

    They also disallow selling the game lower elsewhere.

    But among large gaming companies they are still easily one of the best.

    What they did for Linux is huge.

    I hope when gave leaves we won’t all be fucked royally and be reminded why a monopoly is bad.

    So overall positive but conflicted.

    Same.

    Also I get to share my hobbies with them. We got a d&d group, we paint minis and play video games together. Which is stuff I’d do anyways.

    I also picked up inline skating as my kids do that all the time and just standing there while they skate was boring.

    Plus I still got hobbies as does my wife. Yes there is less time but we have each other’s backs so everyone can have some time for their own interests like once or twice a week.
