There won’t be exclusives. That isn’t good business for Steam or Linux.

I’d rather see phones with Ubuntu Touch, PostMarketOS, and Mobian OS’s.

I think having a marketplace full of alternatives helps prevent that kind of entrenchment somewhat. Here is my problem though, who decides what an echo chamber is? I like a good back and forth conversation, but hate bad faith arguments. If people talk stupid shit, how much tolerance should one reasonably expect?

I remember hating the idea, during the age when games came in boxes. Now i support Steam with the tremendous support they’ve given the Linux platform. Most games i have are games on Steam, but i do have a bunch on GoG, as well as Itch.io. Don’t keep all your eggs in one basket, but have to admit the Steam basket is humongous.

That’s what you get for putting all your chips on the CCP table.

As someone who has experienced a heat dome here in BC, you have my sympathies. It’s soggy and cool here right now, and while depressing, it’s not as depressing as being baked alive.

Right, pullout, like Putin’s daddy should have done.
