@GhostOnTheHalfShell @F3715H Like I'm not asking for DCI-8K HDR CinemaDNG RAW or some shit, but this already feels more violating than the garbage experience #LouisRossmann had with #Netflix...

• I mean, I don't expect more than 1080i60 & NTSC colour space with 2.0 audio, because that's the bluray version, but they propably won't even serve me the NTSC-resolution version on #Linux, because #Contentmafia are greedy assholes that love violating #consent and mistreating their #customers like some violent serial offender...
  • It shouldn't be easier to just pirate than watching a paid-for stream and it's the #Streaming Services that need to become more convenient than piracy!!!
  • Unfortunately, #Valve seems to be the only Corporation that figured this out and thus they dominate #PCgaming as they don't constantly abuse their *paying customers!

@FuturisticRobert @fuchsiii I think that's the fundamental unfixable problem of publicly traded corporations because they are legally mandated to maximize ROI for shareholders at an exponential rate they'll inevitably hit a ceiling.

• Even if that means they run out of humans and businesses that ain't already buying all their stuff and subscribing to everything.
  • This is why #Microsoft stopped caring about #consumers as they basically "owned" the #desktoplinux with #WindowsXP and until they killed #Windows7 & #Windows10 any other OS was a *"statistical #RoundingError"...
    
  • All for #Linux to win is to not #enshittify at the same or faster pace than #Windows11...

Per contrast, #Valve (which is owned predominantly by #GabeN and only has marginal amounts of (non-traded!) stocks with it's employees) is also doing great without #enshittifiying #Steam.

• Mostly because #Steam can't afford to mistreat it's customers longterm, as being convenient for said users is what sets them apart from any other store...
  • The only reason they pivoted to Linux is because #GabeNewell realized the frontal attack #Windows8Bing and #Windows10S are on his company and that it's a horrible gamble to not assume #Windows trying to monopolize #Apps and #Games #distribution wouldn't cull Steam.
  • Not that they like #OpenSource, because their #BusinessModel is diametrically opposite by virtue of selling access to #CCSS. It's just that they know that Microsoft could otherwise choke them to death so fast and brutal that they'd end up bankrupt faster than #Gawker when #peterThiel decided to literally "sue them into bankrupcy"...

Which makes Gaben propably the only publicly known #billionaire that isn't hated.

• Or maybe it's his and thus Valve's #AntiAI - Stance that #Gamers love...
