    I’m a PC gamer and have been since I was a kid. It’s literally my number one thing I do when I have free time is get on some games and hang with the boys. It’s a big part of my life.

    As game companies go, I don’t trust Microsoft, EA, Ubisoft, Blizzard, Bethesda, Sony, Epic Games… It’s a long list. Valve is the only company I even kinda trust (Which isn’t even that much these days). If Microsoft bought Valve I’d probably never buy a PC game again. Because all the companies selling them would be companies I don’t wanna give money.

    But it’s not true that they were buying it so it’s a moot point. Just wanted to rant. :)

      Preach on man… I feel the same way. If microshit bought Valve, I’d never buy another thing on the platform. And you could effectively forget Linux gaming as well.

        well, it’s not like existing contributions would disappear even if that happened; such is the beauty of open source

      if microsoft bought valve, i would radicalize pretty badly. Not much else to do after ones only real hobby goes up in flames.

      What about itch?
