Do you really own your game if it can be unilaterally taken away from you ? Copyright law is fucked and the software industry is happy with the status quo - no owning a license that's behind dozens of pages of TOS is not owning a game.

Nobody's giving you a perpetual license to anything, even GOG, any license you're "buying" can be revoked at any time for whatever reason they want.

I never mentioned publishers, in fact indies do not even have publishers. Can you stop with this whataboutism ?

95% of the players on pc are on steam, if you don't publish your game there you're just shooting yourself in the foot - this has very little to do with the quality of the service valve provides and everything to do about their monopoly on the market. Would devs like to pay a smaller cut to valve? Sure, but it's just the cost of doing business, you go where your customers are.

It's hard getting recognized on steam too.

the heel of the show i'm not familiar with that idiom. if you don't realize you've been getting an increasingly shallower version of the same character you've not been paying attention, it usually happens naturally in tv shows (flanderization) - like how homelander is suddenly asexual and breast milk obsessed. but yes the writers are pulling in every stop to make sure you hate the character because they understandably don't want people to root for the main villain which for some reason is trump 2.0, as if we needed yet another portrayal of that. the amount of shows that don't degrade after season 1 is incredibly low unfortunately.

Yeah the writers didn't like how part of the audience sided with homelander in the first couple of seasons, so they did what writers do and took a hammer to the character.

It's unlikely that whatever issue you're having with your games is because of the desktop environment.

Ventoy is probably not the best thing to recommend.
