Well they are certainly the exception, not the rule. I’ll take it, but we definitely got cosmically lucky to have steam exist in this timeline the way it does. 99/100 times it’s a soulless shit factory that’s entirely reflective of the AAA industry as a whole.

Seriously. Part of the reason they’re even so popular is because they aren’t actively pursuing profit maxxing/enshittification business practices to corner the market and consolidate market share like every other one of these blood sucking cretins. They really are one of the extremely short list of corporations that ACTUALLY win in the marketplace because their product really is just that good. Running the steam deck with Linux, contributing to the development of Wine/Proton, and telling Microsoft to kick rocks has made me a Gaben fanboy for life. If Steam was the ONLY way you could purchase PC games, I’d honestly be fine with that, as long as Valve remains a private company under the iron fist of Mister Newell.

The more they lose the worse it is for them, tbh. Even super conservative judges are allergic to this stuff.

That’s not to say they won’t try. But I do think they’re having a harder time than they imagined they would have. After all, this is the supreme court conservatives have spent decades trying to achieve, and they’re still getting stonewalled. If they can’t legal their way to supreme authority with this supreme court, I’m not sure I see a way for them to do it at all besides just straight up suspending habeus corpus and calling it a day.

Let’s not forget that at the end of the day, these are a group of some of the most cowardly, backbiting, smooth brained slobbering imbeciles the world has even seen. I am still pretty confident that they will fuck this up spectacularly.

Well yeah, their corporate handlers would never allow Democrats to call for such a thing.

The hardest part is getting restaurants to list themselves on the service. Worked in the restaurant industry before and during the pandemic, many restaurants despise using delivery apps, and had deliberately chosen not to, I in fact have told one DoorDash rep to fuck off specifically, because they wouldn’t stop trying to list us without our permission. They really are bloodsucking cretins, and it took the financial pressures of the pandemic to strongarm 99% of restaurants to list themselves with some sort of delivery app. Now they all do just to keep pace.
