I don't have the energy or the inclination to educate bad faith agents on the internet. Mentioning Valve when I Iiterally only mentioned Linux and MS is whataboutism.
That there is the main reason I left reddit. Go find some windmills to fight.
Meanwhile, anyone reading this would be smart not to fall for MS's bootleg low effort gaming software ads and steer clear from anything that parasitic monolith produces. One never knows when the OS you use for gaming is used to guide bombs to your building.
You do get your games through Steam, don’t you? It’s a fairly safe assumption given that you stated you play on Linux. Valve monopoly there is even stronger than on Windows.
Gaming spaces are full of pointless negativity these days so my „whataboutism” was meant to showcase that much of it is rooted in tribalism, serves no other purpose than to feel good about yourself and it can cut both ways.
There’s plenty of gaming communities in the Fediverse to pick from, you won’t find me in other ones.
Negativity towards a genocide enabling monopolistic cheating criminal enterprise is never pointless, in fact, it's more than warranted. Microsoft is indistinguishable from a criminal syndicate and will bribe, cheat and kill to facilitate its monopoly.
Microsoft is a huge company so unless it’s the gaming division doing the Gaza genocide then you’re engaging in an actual whataboutism that you dislike so much.
I hate to come to these terms because I don't know you personally and I'm sure you're othewise a wonderful chap but the sentence quoted above is profoundly idiotic at every level. Please don't stoop to this level of stupidity, it's beneath your intelligence I'd wager.
I'll provide an example so you can see it too.
I think you forgot to make a point in your comment, unless saying my opinions are dumb is everything you wanted to communicate. In that case, may I ask you to elaborate on why you think that is because all I’m seeing is a speedrun of Godwin’s law.
I apologise for overestimating your reading comprehension.
Ad hominem, you must feel so clever.
That's just pointless negativity.
Yes, you seem to revel in it which was my point exactly.

You don’t seem to understand the difference between criticism of action and criticism of character, I haven’t engaged in the latter yet.
