Yeah I do have a similar fear. Valve is something special. I tried to hate them, they’re filthy-rich corpos after all, but I can’t. Something of value will be lost when Valve finally succumbs to enshittification, which cannot be said of a lot of other big companies.
But my fear isn’t necessarily about Steam. I have like 20-30 games in my library. Steam is simply the least shit way to play games you have/want to pay for.
why do most communist States have this knack for massive intelligence gathering on its own citizens?
Corporations have this knack too. Everybody in power does. It’s just that one privately owned corporation can only reach so far.
There are (modded) DRG lobbies with extreme player counts, and I don’t think it’s that hard to set them up. The problem I see with DRG is that it can be pretty spooky at times (similar to Minecraft or Subnautica), so it might not be suitable for a 10 year old.
Hell yeah Sauerbraten all the way
