The major thing? Not global thermonuclear war? Not global warming leading to massive political and economic instability? Not democratic backsliding?
I like my PC games as much as the next guy, but let's be reasonable: It's just a luxury good.
Someone: "I just had the worst day"
DdCno: "Oh, the Worst day? Did you get diagnosed with cancer? Did you get hit by a bus and suffer full body paralysis? Did you lose your home and entire family in a fire? I don't understand figures of speech!"
I'm a rather literal person who tends to overthink things. Can't help it.
Honestly am not too worried about what you've mentioned.
Those things will upset my life so radically, that there's no point in worrying about that, plus I have a lot of first world privlidge buffer before it realistically affects my life. I'm not saying that it wouldn't suck, but I don't care. A lot of things will go to absolute life-changing shit for everyone around me if it also affects me.
Steam getting majorly enshitified will affect the major thing in my life, that I rely on to be able to handle the rest and retain at least some of my sanity, while changing nothing about the rest of my circumstances. It's something I interact with daily.
Yes, I am reasonable, this is the thing I worry about the most, but I do recognize that it's a privilige.
Alright, fair enough. Totally understandable position, now that I get the full picture. Sorry if I was a bit blunt.
No worries! It made me honestly consider my opinions in broader, more real sense, and they still hold, so you did give me food for thought. So no offence taken.
