Monarchy only works because every competitor who tries to change something has failed.
Monarchies would as well not have been established, if they where not making better services than competitors, and when they reached power the got out of control.
Same will happen to steam, it is just how things are, it is just a matter of time, until centralised power gets abused.
Our legal framework does not protect us from this, most monopolies are not illegal in current law.
The current state of capitalism is that companies try to get good brand recognition to get support and establish their monopol position, ant then, the enshitification starts slowly.
Back to the monarchy similarity: Most monarchs had great support at the beginning or even for generations until that power gets abused.
If we have no tools against an entity that can abuse power, we have to establish those tools while we don’t need them, or it gets very hard to do something against it when it happens.

But it is exactly the same as with monarchies:
There are some good ones, until there is one evil, and then you can’t do really something against it except whining.
Allowing monopolies is like allowing a dictator to rule in my eyes.

Yet
Yet, unlike other sectors yet.
High chances that this changes. Monopolies are built friendly and get enshitificated later, one baby step at a time.
Market will get harder and harder to join as studios optimise their processes for releases on steam and users get even more trained Games -> Steam.
Especially when Steam manages to kill PS and Xbox, where I see big potential that this happens.

I fear the environmental impact of replacing tubes and fixing leaks etc would be greater than the what we win on fresh water.
Don’t understand me wrong, the idea is pretty good, but salt water is no joke to manage, especially when you vepe it, I mean the salt goes anywhere.

You know that a company can loose its trademark if the term is widely used in society to describe a product category instead of the product of that company?
You only help big corporations by enforcing not to use the trademark name for a product category.
Don’t be a capitalism enabler!

- Comment on A hypothesis 1 week ago:
In my region, people who grew up with mac are more likely to finish higher class school than people who grew up using windows.
But not because they use mac but because they tend to have richer parents… - Comment on Linux gamers on Steam finally cross over the 3% mark 1 week ago:
I assume, it is often more easy to get games running without (or removed) drm, as drm may be the one tricky thing that is hard to get working with wine 🤔
- Comment on Microsoft seemingly just revealed that OpenAI lost $11.5B last quarter 2 weeks ago:
They will just wait it out until teens will not be able to use a search engine, because they grow using free GPT and as soon as they earn enough money, they’ll start the enshitification.
Of course, teachers and students will have still free access, do that they not learn to find stuff not with AI.

- Comment on YouTube is taking down videos on performing nonstandard Windows 11 installs 2 weeks ago:
You should not install a game requiring kernel level privileges on a personal machine you use for anything other than gaming.
At this point, I recommend to go the console way (or dedicated gaming machine, which is basically the same at this point as you are not owning neither of them)
- Comment on YouTube is taking down videos on performing nonstandard Windows 11 installs 2 weeks ago:
Hahah apple does so since iOS 1
iOS is designed from the ground so that people are trained to think in apps rather than files
This is why it took so long until files appeared and why it is still no file browser like in any other operating system (only local directories for some apps and cloud folders)
- Comment on Don't fix the problem just change the parameters 3 weeks ago:
😃i have this problem with digital as well (just neurodivergent): 22:55 -> oh nice not too late, I can still do stuff 23:05 -> o damn, o dear, no time left, gotta finish up, gotta get to bed soon, damn
💁🏻
On the other hand, if I only use analog, I lose more time checking the watch until I know the time (including double check) than I win by knowing the time at all 😂
Best is to have analogue and digital side-by-side, or digital within analogue.
Like, I need the movement of the minutes, but fast info about current hour.

The nobs are cheaper, because you don’t need a motor changing the airflow, you just use the power of the human rotating the nob to adjust the airflow to go to the right spot
And you don’t need a cpu nor gpu
Waaay cheaper…
