The only actually decent big company I can think of with a decent product and a track record of investing in open source and consumer benefiting solutions is being defended online. Shock.

Private companies, for better or worse, are beholden only to the boss. No shareholder value to worry about.

That’s the only reason steam hasn’t been turning the thumbscrews on developers for stage 3 enshittification profit seeking.

And why I’m clenching it for the day Gaben leaves. It will probably be disastrous.

Idk the internal company culture is supposed to be pretty damn good and stable. Flat management structure with everyone getting to work on whatever they please…

Seems like a replacement council would probably do fine.

A company that promotes gambling to underage kids with a proprietary third party launcher.

What are you doing on dbzer0 btw?

A company that increases mental health of all users through entertainment, pushes the boundary of corporate responsibility and basically solves depression through their carefully crafted launcher.

See, I can also make up bullshit by extrapolating to the extreme.

Excuse me, how does a third party proprietary launcher solve depression?

Are you gatekeeping piracy to a dude simply because they don’t think Valve is the devil? Bruh, you need to go outside.

Defending a billionare and his proprietary products while having to resort to piracy to get them it’s ridiculous
