Steam is equally shitty, they just have the advantage of not being publicly traded which means they can create long term strategies and execute them successfully.
Doesn't mean they're pro consumer.
Would not say equally shitty, otherwise they won't have popular support they do.
You are correct however that they are not pro consumer.
They are just a smarter, wiser business with a sustainable business model that understands the importance of consumer trust.
You can find popular support for plenty of shitty things. I could point 70m people in the US supporting a very shitty thing!
But those are Americans.
And you think stupidity is exclusive to the US? Italy elected a fascist, Germany's far right party is gaining ground...
Popular support for something doesn't mean that thing is good.
Germany and Italy learn from their mistakes. The US keeps repeating them more than any other country (except for Argentina)
Eh...
Clearly they don't considering they had fascist governments decades ago and have one/are on their way to having one again now while it's the first one in the US (Trump's first term wasn't like this one even if it was a shitshow...)
