Doesn't seem to stop a lot of drivers

Anyone who is old enough to remember trying to buy digital copies of games pre-Steam knows how much value Stream brings to the table.
If it's not on Steam, I don't even consider it.
Why do Shorts (and Reels, and Stories, and whatever other catchy names they give short form videos) even exist?
I pay for non popular things - bands that aren't well known, YouTube creators who haven't started doing those stupid "MUNDANE TASK 😱 GOES WRONG!" thumbnails yet, games or software that are free to download but hey maybe some money would be cool if you could, independent news and radio, etc.
Once something is popular I'll just thieve it. Artists are creators deserve to get paid for their work, but once they start getting paid dozens of times over for no extra effort it's hard to feel too bad about borrowing a free copy.
Subsonic (https://www.subsonic.org/) hasn't been updated in years, but it still works perfectly for me. I'm mostly on Youtube Music these days just for the size of the library, but for stuff I have that YTM doesnt I still fall back to Subsonic that's running on my HTPC.
Dudes need to knock a few zeros off the end of their currency, damn.

I'm somewhere between steps 2 and 3 myself after around 2500 hours or so of gameplay.
Just realised I've probably bought that app at some point - no idea what it costs since Google doesn't show that information once you own it.
There's a free version which likely has done restrictions but probably still does exactly what you require:

I've been using Image Shrink on Android for the better part of a decade. It works flawlessly for exactly this situation.
I set the resize options to maximum dimension of 1600px.
Then the workflow is share from any app (like the Gallery) to Image Shrink, it resizes the photo(s), then reopens the share prompt to share on to wherever you're trying to send them (like an email client).
You can also choose Image Shrink in the file picker to do it in reverse - select the files in the app you want, and they get resized on the way in.
Give him another one!

I have a library with hundreds of games I don't play anymore. If Stream closed I'd just have hundreds plus a rounding area I can't play anymore.
I will have already got my enjoyment from the games but the time Steam ever closes down.
