As far as companies go I trust valve.

I trust Gabe. I just don’t trust whoever takes over after him.

Hopefully Gabe sets up a trust to oversee the future benevolent development of PC gaming

It’s funny, because as much as people here hate corporations and monopolies, they would seemingly kill their own mother if it meant Steam would be the only seller of PC games.

It’s not that hard to understand when even apps determine whether someone wants to use social media like reddit or lemmy despite the content being the same.

It’s not ideal, but it’s okay for now. Shit will get real when Gabe passes away though.

The biggest criticism is you dont own what you buy.

Some older games gave an old school game code to unlock the game. So some I own, but many no, and that sucks

Thats what I like about what OP linked. But those platforms dont really incorporate all that steam does well. Making it easy to link up with friends is important. Though I have found myself using Playnite instead of Steam to browse and launch my games.

I don’t give a shit about that half as much as their promotion of microtransactions, not to mention unwillingness to regulate third party launchers, invasive DRM, third party accounts, etc.

Damn straight up shit I hate and didn’t think about. Fuck yeah fuck that shit. Third party launchers and accounts should never be allowed. It fucks with the experience.

In the future we’ll all own everything.

A lot of people won’t like the answer but no private individual should ever trust a corporate entity. They aren’t held to the same standards a regular person is so we can only hope that in a bad situation, the company will do the right thing. When there’s a difference between right morally, right for the customer and right for the bottom line is the time to start sweating and hoping.

When it comes to archiving piracy is the answer anyways since the average person is not going to be backing up all their games and creating redundant back ups of it.
