Why are you acting like there aren’t steam games with additional drm?

Found the Sweeney fanboy. Just because Timmy-boy can’t install kernel-level malware on Linux doesn’t mean Gabe Newell is going to use it to conquer the Earth, bud.

Steam doesn’t require DRM to publish on their platform.

Neither does epic.

Again with the complete and utter lack of ability to understand that nuance exists, and both can be bad people doing self interested things, and one bad person saying something correct does not mean you agree with everything they stand for just because you agree with the one smart thing.
Like more than one of you are stuck in this moronic binary mindset. It’s pathetic.

Steam also places DRM and states in their EULA that you pay to license the title and not own it. Looks like your a Steam fanboy. We shouldn’t be fanboys of anything but simply notice the good and bagld companies do because either way they aren’t our friends

Developers place DRM, that’s not s requirement of Steam publishing. Also, 99% of digital stores state you’re only buying a license. That’s a problem with modern society, not Steam.

So Steam is part of the problem. They can simply not have that in their EULA. With that attitude no change will ever happen for the better

I don’t think blaming Steam for society’s ills is a valid response.

They demonized all actions of Valve, for the sake of defending Epic, even to the point of painting something that aids Linux adoption across the board as if it were a secretive, locked-down part of Steam’s environment. I pointed out the failure in that. Yeah, totally the same. 🙄

That’s not remotely what I did, and I weep for the future if this is the level of reading miscomprehension we have to deal with.

Bronzebeard is being objective and certainly not taking the position you’re generalizing here

Lol, no. That was not objective. And on top of that, I was not taking the position you’re generalizing here.
In short, what happened was, Bronzebeard made a cynical and destructive statement about the existence and development of Proton. I called them out by referencing what they said. Then, you came along, picked out some reasons to be angry with Valve, attributed them to me as though I said them, and acted as though pointing them out made you superior. We are not the same.
It is at this point, will be disengaging, as my conversation with you started with you putting words in my mouth, and I have less than no interest in speaking to you further.
