Every company should do it. Have their own instance, have a main corporate account, one for each of their brands, and availability of for staff to have accounts there.
Companies complain about the lack of moderation on twitter under Musk, so do something about it.

That is fair, Dota 2 is cosmetic only. TF2 on the other hand, is selling items with stats, mostly sidegrades rather than upgrades, but they do play into a certain kind of play, which does make it a de facto upgrade if your style of play matches the items use case.

Epic Games Store, Gog, UPlay (or whatever ubisoft’s is called), Origin/EA Downloader have all not done this and yet they’re not controlled by Gabe Newell.
Fact is that steam, no one else, started the road down the licensing and not ownership of games path we are firmly on with regards to PC.
Most PC’s don’t even have a disc drive any more, it’s all downloads.
And Gog is the only one that still allows ownership and not licensing of software.
So yeah, you do know nothing at all.

You’re still playing proprietary games on your FOSS OS. Furthermore, the vast majority of people don’t care.
If it matters to you personally, I get that. But linux gaming is personally DOA for me as it still doesn’t support my simracing hardware.

You’re simping for a shop. The PC Shop wars have managed to be even more pathetic than the console wars.
I have Steam, Epic Games Store, GoG Galaxy, Battle.net, XBox, Ubisoft and EA’s thing installed and they all miraculously work since I’m on PC and it’s not a locked down consoles. I get to play games that aren’t on steam!
Stop locking your PC down, it’s not a console.

shareholders…owners… who cares about the vernacular.
Turns out, quite a few people when those words are describing very different things.
I just hope to christ Gabe Newell’s successor(s) are in line with his actions.
This is how I know that you don’t know much at all. GabeN has changed valve from being a game developer making amazing things like Half Life and Team Fortress 2, to microtransactions and no games. A continuation of what Gabe is doing is pretty much in line with the rest of the industry, except NBA 2k4 would be the last one and it would have microtransaction DLC for the next 15 years.

No they don’t, and you can totally set up a company without shareholders. LLCs have no shareholders for instance.

- Comment on Plot to kidnap child hatched a week before Madeleine McCann disappeared 9 months ago:
2 things that come to mind: the Maddie McCann stories get rolled out when something needs to be distracted from, so what’s the thing we’re not meant to be paying attention to this time? And secondly; The McCann’s should both be jailed for quite obvious child neglect, they were at a restaurant when this happened, and left Madeleine back at their holiday let. Seems proper fishy that nothing happens there.

My kid is studying physics in university, and she comes home and tells me physics anecdotes which I don’t understand, so I always reply “That’s Numberwang!”.
So I can see these types of conversations happening between math and programming types.

I once went back for 3 refunds when the projector at the cinema in the Miners Welfare Hall broke. The film was “Dude! Where’s My Car?” so probably didn’t miss much.
I was going to get married in Craig-y-Nos castle, but covid/brexit happened, so had to make do with a registry office in Basel, Switzerland.
The Aubrey Arms was renamed to The All Blacks Arms, after Neath RFC’s nickname, but since everyone still called it The Aubrey, the new owners changed it back. Also, the owner before the initial name change murdered his wife, and hid the body in the attic of the shed, where my Mam used to park her bike when she was working at the pub. Fun times.
Also the gates for Buckingham Palace were made in Ystrad. They’re proper fancy.
