See, this is the kind of data collection I’m okay with. When it’s to genuinely help make the product I’m using better and not just to line someone’s pockets or feed the algorithm.
Valve aren’t perfect - they can make mistakes, too - but it fucking shows when someone up top actually cares about what they’re doing.
I sincerely hope that Gaben has a worthy prodigy lined up for when he’s no longer in charge.
I hope so too, but history has shown us time and again that sequels are usually worse off compared to the originals ;)
Hopefully Gabe can pull off the Terminator 2 of successors, but that just means it’ll only be downhill from there.
I appreciate how Valve does this. They ask, they let you know how its used, its not associated with individual accounts, you can view the info submitted before it gets submitted.
Been using Steam for over 10 years but never got asked to do any survey. Is it something you need to turn on or register to? I would love to add my VR headset, my MacBook air (yes I game on it on-the-go), and my ancient PC from 2012 to the statistics.
This low effort content is the 2nd most upvoted post in this sub in the last month?
You’re criticising the OP for low effort, but also the community for high interest. What are you trying to say really?
I actually criticize the community’s high interest in a screenshot for a stupid hardware survey.
I take pride in being able to represent Linux through a “stupid hardware survey.”
