The alternative is to stop doing business in places where laws are being used to restrict the games available.

Incorrect. You are completely ignoring what those restrictions are.

Would that really be a bad thing?

Steam is one service Russians can’t easily replace. If their backwards policies prevent it from operating there, maybe they would take steps to change them.

I don’t really get what anyone expects Valve to do here other than comply with the law.

Lol.

The alternative is to stop doing business with Russia.

They can be part of the problem, or part of the solution.

But, it would suck if I were in Russia and suddenly lost access to my games.

Another reason not to rely on steam as a central point of failure.

I would never respond to social media drama in their position.

I love fitgirl.

Truly fighting the good fight.

.ml isn’t significantly worse than hexbear, beehaw, or blahaj.

Thanks for the explanation.

They have the money. They choose not to spend it.

It’s a very vain thing to waste your money on that most of us cannot afford.

I don’t blame people for getting it when they have exceptional flaws, but for normal people to get it is rather disgusting.

Ratchet & Clank

It’s all a racket to steal as much money from workers as possible.

It makes more sense to just use free streaming sites or save videos to a storage drive.

Plex, like framework, seemed like corporate shite that wannabe nerds fell for to fit in with other wannabes.

I always thought less of people whenever they mentioned plex.
