For things that are in my control or at least within my sphere of influence (pleroma, local environment, my servers, fediverse) i do try to make them better, for the rest best I can do is hope and pray, and maybe "vote with wallet" and some activism but those barely fucking work. -

Steam has legacy of being a product of botnet environment (ex-microsoft employees, literally being just a DRM for half-life) and its development has priorities as you might expect.
All the things they do so far indicate that they don't really intend on being big bad DRM industry as some people make them out to be. Offline mode got improved, LAN transfer got implemented, deck was released and it has zero lockdown you'd expect from i.e. Sony or Nintendo. -

But now it also catalogs tits and dicks i guess. Sometimes there IS an overlap.

Only one thing that I do think steam has massive flaw is that games often outright require update, even in offline mode. If game doesn't work in offline mode it's usually gamedev's intention/fault.

Steam's own DRM is just steamclientapi.dll that is piss-easy to circumvent. I still remember downloading Dungeons of Dredmor on windows steam (on wine) and just running the (linux!) executable, years before steam on linux became even a possibility.
It's just a storefront with some neat features and custom protocol for downloading stuff.
At the very least they aren't making outrageous claims and promises that they end up failing to deliver on (cough) GOG (cough) -
Proud owner of a potato sack :flag: (hj@shigusegubu.club)'s status on Wednesday, 06-Dec-2023 00:05:38 JST Proud owner of a potato sack :flag: @noyoushutthefuckupdad @coolboymew yeah I still remember the "no-steam" CS:S servers and the "A.I. Disabled..." anti-piracy in half-life 2 and episodes. It was garbage at launch and was more of a form of DRM to Source/GoldSrc (rereleases of) games. Some of those things still remain today, like you cannot move GoldSrc games between drives because they are all stored in half-life directory, and moving them also means moving everything else which steam just can't comprehend as it doesn't really apply to other games.
While I do still buy most of the games on steam it's usually indies and like. Pirating anime is also normal since there usually either no distributors or they are complete fucking dog shit, plus even if distributors are "decent" they aren't really paying to original creators either.
I do share louis rossman's approach though - if you provide shit to me i'm just not interested in your content, it doesn't exist to me. Much like I see EGS exclusives as "delayed".

Steam so far (after 2 decades). Steam has been giving a better deal than pirates, and you can still pirate just fine on deck.
I actually pirated a free (gratis) game that became a paid game with little to no improvement out of spite even though it would have been easier to pay and get it from steam. And it's not a great game either (head over heels).
I loathe to think of time when gabe retires
