looks like it worked

That walled garden has a huge welcome mat and door.

Imagine if you or your kids walk into a toys store and you are asked for your credentials just to get in and if you want to buy a game you have to provide your telephone number and tell them where you live. The huge welcome sign outside the store are ads auzy

my point it that they fucked you over, you paid for games you don’t own

they collect everything about you

Why not mention WHY he’s successful

Because he’s the ceo of a for profit american tech corporation that managed to hook up people into a proprietary walled garden that over the years developed into a close-like monopoly

they’ve never personally fucked me over.

Do you own any of the games you bought on steam?

No other company has invested more in trying to free our PC games from Microsoft either. On top of that, Valve’s investment still benefits the entire FOSS ecosystem.

valve main product is a proprietary third party software launcher, there’s nothing foss about it. They started seriously investing in linux only the moment microsoft become their direct competitor in the videogames industry.

pro consumer policies that Steam has

I would argue a proprietary third party launcher to play your games and DRMs are the opposite of pro consumer.

This person is a billionare who own an entire fleet of mega yachts, his money mostly come from a proprietary third party software launcher where people don’t own their games. You shouldn’t trust this guy more than you trust facebook or amazon ceos.

Invading dictatorships like israel fascist government? The one we are arming and helping to even repress the peaceful protests against a genocide they are perpetrating?

The west is still doing business with russia, the sanctions are being bypassed through countries like turkey. Russia is buying arms from china which we do plenty of business whit. Russian oligarchs are chilling in dubai right now next to western billionaires. My suggestion would be to not be scum ourself and actually start to act like the good guys, war is part of a system that we fuel directly, the conflict with russia is part of a century old war western countries and russia have been fighting with dirty tricks like false flag operations on both sides.

There’s not much to add whostosay, if you advocate for a military operation to dust russia be ready to go there fighting yourself otherwise perhaps don’t advocate for a war where millions of people could die.

B: I don’t have much wealth, and I won’t be able to go back to the US, since I consider Trump to be a traitor.

Calling for a war on russia is easy from your couch but nobody wants to go die an atrocious dead fighting on the front lines, we all have our reasoning not to.

There are many ways conflicts and war could be prevented, for example not attacking other countries ourself and not doing business with dictatorships around the globe. Russian oligarchs are chilling in dubai drinking champagne next to western billionaires, governments don’t really give a shit about it because it’s not politicians or rich people that are going to die on the front lines over a fucking inch of dirt.

someone has to operate them.

What about you? Are you ready to fight on the front lines to defend an inch of territory?

You are advocating for a military operation to dust russia, if your wish is to fight russia and dust them you can pack your bags and enlist in ukraine as they are in need for more men in the front lines.

You wish for a military operation to fucking dust Russia. I suggested you pack your bags and go in ukraine as they are in need for men on the front lines to fight russia.

He’s trying to get a retaliation from NATO, and then use that attack on Russia as a valid reason to call general mobilization. Without a good reason he can’t call mobilization. And it’ll boost his standing with the population with a good ol’ rallying around the flag.

Could be, russia government is scum. There’s a change it’s also NATO false flag operation to call general mobilization against russia, without a good reason they can’t call mobilization.

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Operation_Gladio

We could actually do a one week military operation and fucking dust Russia. And it would be a favor to humanity

Ukraine is in need for men, you can pack your bags and go there if you want

As ever, I think that NATO should declare war on Russia and kill Putin.

Ukraine is in need for men, why don’t you pack your bags and go there to fight russia?

Nato ready to order people to defend every inch of territory.

Don’t know what was deleted there.

Ask the mods, they did it
