by becoming a monopoly? A lot of this ball started rolling because Wolfire accused Valve of price fixing. Pretty much the worst thing you can do.
And if you didn't read the ToS update: this is
1) RETROACTIVE application of this arbitration (remember when we got mad at companies trying to apply terms to the past)?
2) option out requires you to delete your Steam account. Holding your potential hundreds or thousands of dollars of games as hostage.
I don't think people realize how absurd this is.
>removing a ton of game piracy
Except when you need another third party account, then suddenly piracy is convinient again.
>progressing Linux desktop to be in a usable state
By relying on a windows environment, sure. I still yearn for native Linux gaming.
