I'll be up front, steam is still a corpo and I'll gladly drop it like a hot rock the second it looks at me funny. That said, decade plus that I've been using it, it's treated me good. Steam runs on Linux without complaints, it doesn't dick with my very specific file organization, and it doesn't ask questions when I use it to run cracked software that I aquired dubiously. I don't even own 100 games on it, I only buy things I'm willing to play and can't pirate.

The only concievable thing another company could do to get me to pick them over steam is to give me an exact copy of steam but with the option to change the color to anything but blue.

Well fuck, this gave me a rollercoaster of feelings lol. I love this, but it doesn't work with flatpack so I have to do a full reinstall of steam. This may be my weekend project lol
