Ooh and it's a giant yellow banner you probably won't miss, and not some two-shades-ligher-than-the-background nonsense.
Good job, Valve.
Gamers don’t care
If Valve was against this then they would block them from their store. This is avoiding legal consequences
"""gamers""" aren't a monolith
Some people clearly care bc they are currently discussing it
See, you don't understand. /s
Nothing ever matters, and nothing ever happens.
Well to be fair, we're like 1% of all gamers. Most gamers don't give a flying fuck and will gladly buy these products anyway. So the companies don't really have much incentive to give a shit.
“””gamers””” aren’t a monolith
That’s why some people discussing it aren’t going to do anything to dissuade the practice
Games have been buried in negative reviews for less. We can't tell in advance.
But implying you know, and can speak for all people who play games is just bafflingly ignorant and conceited.
You speak for an entire demographic. How do you get that role?
Observation
That's fair: most probably don't.
I appreciate a 'this won't work in Linux no matter what you do' banner on things, though.
