     @goo Pretty rare for me to pirate games except for ones I just want to give a quick test for like compatibility reasons, or ones where buying it isn't much of an option (like due to region restrictions or incompatible launcher/distributor).

     @lanodan a lot of games unfortunately take a lot of time and money to produce. I mostly pirate old games 🤫

     @seanking Yeah unreal engine is just privately shared source code (afaik easy to obtain though, I used to have access to it).
     But I'm not a gamedev so no idea what's missing.

     @lanodan Probably the game engines is where I want to see more use of FOSS software. Unreal Engine doesn't count.

     @goo @lanodan I pirate indiscriminately what I want - and deal with the guilt by donating to little devs. Because if I do appreciate cathedrals, I wish there were more tiny cabins where the artist actually receive the majority of my support money. I hate how "doing the things by the books" means maintaining the status quo on this current shitty situation.

     I wish most videogames didn't exist and we had quality over quantity and under full copyleft licensing. Nonfree game development is utterly retarded and wasteful cause a new shitty product has to be made every one or two years to keep con00mers engaged, instead of just making something genuinely fun that lasts for decades to come and gets expanded regularly.

     Little care I, for the law (when shit's nonfree).
     
     Anyhow assets can be replaced and tweaked to get the same experience in a different makeup.

     I'm not saying Steam is good, it's a dogshit platform. But none of what you wrote actually holds, get some fucking integrity.
     (And it's better than literally any smart-ass phone out there, which was you know, the origin of the steam deck mention. That includes Pine64 "I won't fund community anymore, or allow non-Manjaro" Pinephone, and the bad joke that's the Librem)

     It's a PC CPU with a faggot cons00mer form factor and a dogshit, crippled nonfree operating system whose only reason to exist is to make sure gamertards with Steam accounts don't stop cons00ming nonfree games and malware even when going outside. On top of directly funding support and compatibility of more nonfree shit on a platform that doesn't need it.

     @meso@the.asbestos.cafe @dushman@den.raccoon.quest @lanodan@queer.hacktivis.me @Suiseiseki@freesoftwareextremist.com @jihadjimmy@the.asbestos.cafe To be fair I'd rather have gamers use GNU/Linux + malware than use Windows, it's a small step closer towards freedom.
     
     I consider every nudge the right way a good thing. Give people a way to walk up on the freedom ladder.
     
     As for me? I don't have to install the malware on my libre computers, I just pretend it doesn't exist. So let companies like Valve do their thing as long as they don't violate the GPL and such.

     @SuperDicq @Suiseiseki @meso @jihadjimmy @dushman There is few bits where you'd rather want Valve to not be too much involved, because they could damage the community.
     
     Meanwhile last time I heard about malware to be put in linux it was Intel that wanted to add HDCP (DRM for HDMI) support.
     Intel which also makes rather critical peripherals that are stuck to non-libre software.
     But no one looses their shit at the mere mention of Intel.
