Power donโt corrupt, it reveals. What did it reveal? Publically trades companies cannot, will not, and would prefer not to ever care about people, sanity, principles, quality, or anything else, more than money. Microtransactions make bank. Anything officially said on the matter is either BS reasoning for why they donโt reduce quality, or honest explanations of how they make more money, or very, very rarely, a cloaked truth about how consumer hatred and backlash means itโs more profitable to slow down and be a bit more sane while looking for alternative ways to drain money out of people

Open source is so cool lol (and even when profit-driven companies build open source stuff it still usually helps more than it hurts)

Imagine steam makes itโs own pay service to undermine this sort of censorshipโฆ
I mean, IIRC, Steam cash canโt be withdrawn from your account, so they could realistically make that a thing.
