feeling better and better for ditching PS for the past few years

    What're you going to do when Steam inevitably does this?

    I'll laugh when it happens, given my Steam account is almost 23 years old.

    If Steam becomes nonviable, then I will:

    • Download my backlog and look into cracking their reliance on Steam, if any.
    • Buy stuff on JAST, GOG, itch io, DLSite. Maybe DMM, Patreon, and Epic Games Store if I'm desperate.
    • Otherwise, well, you know how I'll get those games.

    Steam is turning into a sour grape for me - I complied with their restrictive and ancient method of age verification for UK accounts but I kind of want to migrate off them (they also charge high fees for devs, make it ridiculously difficult for new devs to exist, can singlehandedly destroy a studio and are very much monopolising the PC games industry so there's also ethics) - in favour of GOG. At least with them you own your games, and can (shock horror) even choose whether or not to update and patch that way to glitch out of the map, or duplicate those orbs for currency, or anything else that doesnt comply with the specific way you're allowed to play with the world they built.

    Damn, sorry, I should file this away into my 'rants' folder
