I never gamed, so...

  • Fuck gambling
  • Fuck walled gardens
  • Fuck billionaires (nobody needs that much dough)
  • Fuck Valve/Steam (it's easy for me to say)

Steam isn't perfect and I sure as shit won't be the one defending a corporation, and this isn't a good excuse at ALL, but if you've never gamed you wouldn't believe how much worse it is on the other side (GOG being the only exception).
