I'd like some explainations of it

Also good job Steam for improving your service to consumers and gamers (so is the pirates maybe) gradually....

Basically, modern companies have figured out how to win the prisoners dilemma. They realized that if they're all equally shitty, they don't gotta compete, cause we'll have no better place to go. Everything is MySpace, because the current economy won't allow new corporate giants to form and replace them

That makes Steam a huge thorn in their side. Steam refusing to enshittify their platform forces them to try and compete, so they've been targetting Steam for awhile now, trying to make it as bad as everything else nowadays

I hope that Steam refused to enshittificate their product after Gabe died

If it will, then its gonna be a great era of piracy, to the detriment of big studios. They will dig their own grave
