You know, I don’t believe anyone is too far gone. With very few exceptions. I was pretty right-wing at some time in my life and I came back from it, so I do believe in redemption. I do believe that we get to come back from this. But if you end up to a point where you will go on tirade about how Michelle Obama is actually a fucking man… you’re too far gone, you’re one of those exception.
I could come up with a thousand reasons as to why this would never happen. Hell, I could even argue that the whole Steam Deck’s existence comes from a series of decisions that Valve made out of hatred for Microsoft. So, yeah, it’s not happening.
Still though, as a thought experiment, imagining a world where tomorrow, Steam is owned by Microsoft, it’s… interesting, to say the least. In the most horrifying way possible, but interesting nonetheless. Quite frankly, I can’t imagine anything worse happening for video games. Like to me, this is what a video game apocalypse sounds like.
