The feeling that commercial platforms give me is being harassed until I pay them money.

I like to support platforms, but don't like being milked like a milk cow.

That's why I'm completely open source and on free networks only.

Modern day AAA gaming as well. It’s all battlepasses and digital store fronts you’re hit with first. Then they take an hour to fix store problems and a month to fix gameplay problems.

If they only took money once, that'd be acceptable. But like bullies and addicts, if you give them money once they just keep coming back for more.
