Just buy future games from GOG. No need to delete Steam or already made purchases.

I'm still gonna use American stuff that's good if they keep DEI. brb checking up on Steam.

Edit: it's not looking good tbh I think I'll switch to GOG / physical media as much as feasible.

don't forget valve gets minors (and adults) into gambling.

Pretty much.

I wish more companies took the approach like steam where it seems to be they are content with the amount of money they make and limitless profits are not the end goal

Gaben is a billionaire, Valve isn't content with the amount of money they make, they just have good PR

I still don't understand why the company is so highly regarded. They enable underage gambling. Life must be easy for a company. You just have to be a little bit better than the others and you are regarded as a hero.

While I have deleted Amazon, Meta accounts along with restricting what Google gets in terms of data. Steam will be the last and by far the most hardest thing I have to give up (if I ever do tbh)

I'm using Steam cause of the SteamDeck. If Gabe dies and they start fucking things up I'll install bazite and sail the Seven seas once again.
