        Yeah. Go buy hollow Knight, or schedule 1, or anything from an indie studio. Support both good devs and studios, and valve. And you even get a fun game to go with your support. Honestly, everyone wins.

        … Does anyone still wonder why I boycotted all other gaming platforms other than steam?

        You think you’re going to get anti-cheat this good from the likes of epic? Ha.

        According to quick google, he only has 4 ships in his fleet (with fifth being built right now), and 5 ships is a very small amount for any respectable admiral.

            … Because when it comes to billionaires, gaben is the least of our concern?

            Don’t get me wrong, billionaires are always bad, but not all billionaires are hated.

            You won’t see Bezos doing anything that helps people, not unless it will line his pockets. Valve doesn’t charge us for using vac, they’re unlikely to sell a lot of new copies of CS2 by making it harder to cheat in the game. They have nearly zero financial reasons to bother with any of this. They did it anyways.
