Everything, including:

  • giving a shit about the customer and having them permanently own their own games, even DRM-free like GOG?

  • Not forcing online connectivity to access the library?

  • Not shoving ads and spyware into the rest of the Amazon platform?

  • Appealing ethically by paying all employees a living wage?

  • Prioritizing innovation in expanding native Linux compatibility?
