- Comment on Amazon's previous VP of Prime Gaming said they "tried everything" to disrupt Steam 1 day ago:
LMFAO, I love when someone says they tried everything when it’s so blatantly obvious they didn’t really try anything.
Both Epic and Amazon seemed to believe that if you gave out enough free games then Steam would just… Disappear? Really really dumb.
Neither company has invested any time into making their launcher any good. They haven’t invested any time into making their ecosystem feature rich like Steam. They have just given away a bunch of games and had sales and hoped that magic would take care of the rest.
Valve doesn’t even have to try to beat the competition when the competition doesn’t put any effort in.
GoG Galaxy is the only decent alternative launcher I’ve used and it’s being maintained (seemingly) by one guy who only works one day a year. It’s not as good as Steam by a long shot, but far far better than any of the launchers that come from companies WAY WAY bigger and wealthier. Even the itch.io launcher is better!!!
Blizzard, Amazon, Epic, EA, Ubisoft, and Rockstar (and more) all have their own launchers and not a single one is decent or necessary. Why make such an inferior product when Steam already exists?
- Comment on Nearly half of Steam's users are still using Windows 10, with end of life fast approaching 4 days ago:
Yaaaawn. I’ve used every Windows version well past it’s EoL. The CONSTANT articles on this being shared to Lemmy just feel like pathetically trying to convert people to Linux. I couldn’t be less worried about it.
- Comment on Mexico asks Google to reject U.S. renaming of the Gulf of Mexico. 2 weeks ago:
I’m legitimately saddened by the fact this even needs to happen because of this moronic cretin.
- Comment on US users dumped RedNote after Trump paused the TikTok ban 3 weeks ago:
I really hate being American.
- Comment on RedNote may wall off “TikTok refugees” to prevent US influence on Chinese users 5 weeks ago:
The irony being that TikTok is specifically designed to dumb down Americans. 🤣
- Comment on RedNote may wall off “TikTok refugees” to prevent US influence on Chinese users 5 weeks ago:
Good. Why the fuck are you all so addicted to Chinese brain rot?

Everyone’s hating on this but I can’t wait to get one used in 5-10 years. Looks pretty cool to me personally.
- Comment on Marvel Rivals Dev Apologizes for Mistakenly Banning Steam Deck/Mac players, will unban accounts 1 month ago:
Thank you for opening my eyes to what I have done. I can’t believe I have installed Disney trash to my PC without even thinking about it (haven’t actually played it yet). Time to uninstall.
- Comment on After a year in its company, I’ve done a complete 180 on my Steam Deck 1 month ago:
Ask me how I have several Steam games with over 4k hours logged.
- Comment on If 1 million people sign a petition, a ban on rendering multiplayer games unplayable has a chance to become law in Europe 6 months ago:
There seem to be some instances that DON’T give the automatic +1 I’ve noticed.

There’s actually nothing wrong with no longer supporting a game you developed. The problem is these scummy bastards make sure no one can support the game or run it privately after they abandon it.
- Comment on US man used AI to generate 13,000 child sexual abuse pictures, FBI alleges 8 months ago:
Just to be clear, you guys think that any company that produces anything that ends up used in a crime should have criminal charges for making the product? Yeah, makes about as much sense as anything these days.

Got dayum was the SP a finely crafted device.
