What a terrible article.

“Multiple” packages mentioned in the title, but they’re unable to actually name more than one in the article…

//edit
Actually, they did leave a link to the mailing list thread at the very end.
I should learn to read the entire article…

Oh, it’s trickling alright.

Except it’s piss.

They can’t even keep their original promise of DRM free games.
For example, they thought they could get away with selling latest Hitman with its always-online DRM, and only changed their minds after the backlash.

Also, from the beginning they’ve been promising to support Linux.
Nothing but empty promises so far, they didn’t even have the decency to publicly admit it’s never happening.

Valve, meanwhile, didn’t promise anything, but quietly funded the development of Wine and all kinds of related open source software.
Thanks to their work I’ve been able to completely ditch Windows a few years ago.

For this reason alone I’m glad to buy from Steam whenever I can.

I really wanted GOG to be a viable competition, but their years and years of broken promises are not going to make me leave Steam.

And why would they care anyway? Why does anyone?

“Pope says” is pretty much irrelevant, even to a lot of christians, not to mention everyone else.

Just find better podcasts. I don’t really know what kind of crap people making these memes listen to.

You can check out Darknet Diaries as an example of podcast providing something useful/entertaining instead of just some guys talking about nothing.

Where’s the problem? It makes learning much more approachable and interesting.

If I want to read, I can just stay at home and read on the Internet.

Pretty sure that’d be illegal under GDPR.

You shouldn’t be exposing any self-hosted service to the public Internet, unless you’re willing to also monitor for potential breaches.

Let’s not jump to conclusions! He just might really be this stupid to believe these claims.

Yeah, but Bandcamp isn’t an alternative to Spotify.

It’s an alternative to streaming.

Which competitor doesn’t allow them?

Bullshit on what?

Requiring people to reverse engineer their own driver to avoid vendor lock-in is an objectively shitty move from Valve.

And the last time I tried them these 3rd party drivers didn’t work all that well, just because it technically works it’s a little useless if it’s not exposing all the functions to customize the controller.

If anything, more reviews should lower the score for shitty software.

I love the OG Steam Controller, and I’m getting the new one for sure, but requirement to use Steam for full functionality is a massive downside.

We fought the man and won.

I think Anna is a woman’s name. /s

Last attempt to squeeze some money before these formats are abandoned in favor of competition, I guess.

Not sure if this is true for all EU now, but they can’t raise prices on their own, period.

They have to inform you and unless you agree all they’re allowed to do is cancel your service once the new pricing is in effect.

And illegal/abusive clauses in the T&C are null and void.

If they use light mode they’re no friends of mine!

Back then we didn’t have another bubble inflating prices every other year. :/

Maybe you should reply to that comment you’ve mentioned and ask them to explain why they’re spreading FUD.
