  • I think the problem you’re running into is that Valve isn’t doing nothing with that pay.

    Like valve is actively making my gaming experience better by developing cheap hardware and a good system for gaming on Linux.

    All the games I’ve ever bought, regardless of if they still sell them are in my library.

    My save files are cloud synced for free.

    I as the end user am having a good time.

    I also have a sunk cost thing going on. I’ve been trying to buy and play more GOG games but I just have so much that works already on Linux without any work that it’s hard to justify the tinker time to get it working otherwise.

    They provide such a good service I think we’ve all forgotten about the children casinos for CSGO2 skins, but even that they’re fixing (kinda).

    Maybe its just nice to not be mad about something. Like its just video games, I don’t really care if Valve has a monopoly on that since 1) Experience is good 2) they’re not trying to have like a monopoly on water or something important. Bad take maybe, but there’s enough going on that I just don’t know if I could make myself care that valve is like 90% of videogame sales. Or whatever it is.



  • I see what you’re getting at and I think it’s a valid point.

    That being said, Jews are targeted by the same types of people leftists organize against. Sure, maybe there isn’t a proper systemic oppression of Jews in western mainstream politics. But there is in under ground fascist politics and in mainstream middle eastern politics and ideologies.

    The nuance is that it is going to get worse for the average Jew regardless of their own politics because of the actions of western imperialism and Israeli Fascism. So I will continue to acknowledge the exists of antisemitism and it’s effects in hopes of maintaining a nuanced safe space for Jewish comrades.
