now i already knew this, but for over the last 15 or so years it seemed this day would never come, but now it's looking a lot like that gaming communist future will happen and i'm really starting to consider using some pirate site, and one of you guys have talked extensively with me on this topic and you have helped to allow me make the right decision when the time comes, if at some point my games are revoked for any reason on steam or whatever, i will just pirate my games from that point forward, because i don't agree that they can just steal my games, when you purchase something, it should mean you own it and never have to invest another dime into it.

i have not purchased a game from steam in a long while or any game for that matter for a long time, and mostly it was because most modern games suck, they are either filled with trash politics or they are filled with bugs and glitches galore that can't be fixed, and i play and enjoy my bethesda buggy ass games, at least their games offer the modding community where other games won't allow that and you are shit out of luck in that situation.

anyway i don't plan on purchasing anymore steam games so long as this clause keeps it up on the platform. i don't trust steam or any digital store front for that matter.

Yeah that is one reason why I don't Buy anything on Steam I Have old Games that had physical copies and thought about selling them for cash as I don't play them anymore and no one cares they all play some other trash. So I Kept then when these so called Game Stores buys cheap from you and then Sells High to make them Money yeah Fuck that I rather would keep the ORIGINAL for myself and others to enjoy as IM A REAL GAMER haha. I tried some Mobile Games like RGE and got bored with you need to run it in app or have internet data connection signal just to play Fuck that, I downloaded some free games and they are digital copies and nothing has changed from them and they work great and you have then Run on your Phone with no need for App or Service or any other Bullshite so yeah way better and we all know they want to ruin games and any kind of Fun for the Sheeple and A$$e$ that's all it is 24-7 Keep your Games as at the very least you will know the real truth \G/

Yep, this is why I am no longer supporting live service... and yeah, unfortunately I bought a couple unintentionally. So, guess I should start playing them before they get canceled.

I enjoy the irony that Linux enthusiasts are so enamored with Valve and Steam when they were responsible for the original big push towards killing physical media ownership.

there was some information that came out earlier this week that i heard about some apps or websites preventing users who use Linux PC's to gain access to their sites, so if they can make something like that possible it makes me think they are planning on making other things impossible on linux, now i don't know how true this claim is going to be, but it sounds like they really don't want linux to win, meaning they are actively attempting on holding back Linux to keep people using Microsoft. also for the steam thing, i feel if they attempted shit like that, i could see linux gamers head to using steamUnlocked instead, because if they try to ban ppl from using Linux, that could be a major problem, now i'm not sure Gab wants that as he's been trying to advocate ppl to use steam on linux, so it's tough to say.

@KEEPER: Nobody is actively trying to prevent people from using Linux - except possibly for multiplayer game developers who use kernel-level anit-cheat. You shouldn't be playing those games, no matter what OS you're on. Nah, the Linux community goes out of its way to make their desktop distros nearly impossible to use for any real work outside of programming. They refuse to standardize. They get hung up on ideals and ignore pragmatic concerns. Take the X11 to Wayland display server transition: Wayland has been in development for 15 years and IT’S STILL NOT READY. Multiple organizations have tried to fix this problem in the past, but the Linux community wouldn’t have it. They’d rather bicker about BS that doesn’t really matter. You know what the most stable API on Linux is? Win32 – that’s right: tried and true Microsoft software. Even Linus Torvalds has expressed disappointment in past lectures about how the Linux community can’t get their shit together and come up with an answer to Window’s excellent portable binary .exe and .msi formats. And on and on it goes. If Linux was the best thing ever, we’d all be using it. Microsoft and the feds would be powerless to stop it. But it’s not. I know because I’ve used various distros since Ubuntu 7.04. If all you’re going to do is web-browse, write emails, or do some programming, then the various Linux distros are great. Anything beyond that, forget it. Don’t bother wasting your time, even with Valve’s efforts to wrangle Linux retardation into a gaming platform.

@jman_44: every time I try to write back to you my stupid mobile browser crashes, I don't know if the problems this damn website, or my damn browser on my damn phone. So I can only focus on writing smaller things I guess.

It only seems to happen on this website, so that's why I assume it's might be the site that's the issue. But then again it always happens on this phone so maybe it's this phone as well.

@jman_44: Hmmm, as if government did not put plants in the Linux community to cause the bickering. What are you twelve and naive? Linux gives the user the power not the "guberment" or the corporate spies for NSA and CIA like Microshadt and Adobe "cloud user only" BS. As if Cloud flare crashing was a "demonstration" on why we should not be dependent on the cloud.

@WMHarrison94: i don't think that's very likely with my phone, i purchased a budget phone, it's not the best phone i could get, i don't believe in spending more than 100 bucks for a phone, so i got one that was only 50 bucks, it's not a bad phone, but it's not the best i could have gotten, i had to replace my older one that was also a budget phone and it funny enough worked better, but it was showing it's age even more so than this one, it finally died funny enough over the weekend, however i bet if i found a new battery, it would work, but i don't think there is a point, i mostly used it as an alarm, it wasn't much good for anything, but hey that battery lasted a lot longer than i predicted, i got about almost a full 8 years out of it.
