Steam being a US-based company kinda put a damper on my willingness to shell out the moolah for games I might not even play ...

GOG is my go to. Still have a huge steam library from before but my future purchases are going there.

...and which you don't actually own.

TBH for me, between the sales and the Linux compatibility it's still worth it even if I'm effectively renting the games.

What about the time they tried to implement paid mods with Bethesda?

[-] dubyakay@lemmy.ca 19 points 4 days ago

They've tried, they've listened, they've not gone forward with the implementation, apologized and refunded and everyone else moved on.

Except they didn't apologize and according to them adding paid mods was not a mistake, their mistake was starting with skyrim. I think it's funny how enamoured people are with steam to the point of misremembering what really happened.

Edit: love the downvotes, just proves how brainwashed steam fans are, just like nintendo fans.

That's not great, but it's not 'company thriving under a very literally fascist regime'-bad.
