Stop using Windows any, it's a US company that's too large.
I mean by that logic, stop using Steam. It's (marginally) possible for a company to get big, and not do terrible things. Just keep an eye on them and don't become fully reliant on them.
And we should be wary of steam, or keep at least an eye out for dark patterns. Fortunately Steam is doesn't have to listen to shareholders, this might be a reason why they don't do those things, but that could all change if Gabe isn't there anymore.
