Steam is supposed to be this platform where you own games, but let's be real, you're just renting them from a digital landlord who can evict you at any time. It's like buying a house, but the deed says "you can live here until we decide otherwise."

It's been two years since I last used Steam, and I'm glad I don't use it anymore. I would purchase a game, play it once, and then never again, not even finish it. It was a waste of money and time in my life.

Steam, while not as harmful as Big Tech in stifling creativity, still uses a licensing model that restricts true ownership. In my view, Steam does offer some resistance to Windows through its SteamOS and Steam Deck community, which promote a more open gaming ecosystem.

It's not all bad, but deleting your account might feel like a loss because capitalism has conditioned you to tie your spending to emotional value, and that's exactly how it's designed to make you feel.

I'm glad I deleted my Steam account when I did.

#SteamOS ou #Windows11 ? Le choix de #HP pour une console de jeu portable serait vite fait

Le marché des consoles portables pourrait encore s'agrandir avec l'arrivée d'un nouvel acteur issu de l'univers du PC gaming : HP. Pour l'heure, le géant préfère toutefois avancer à pas de loup, refusant catégoriquement de s'allier à #Microsoft.

"The newest handheld in the Legion Go family addresses two of my biggest complaints about its Windows-powered sibling: price, and the presence of Windows 11, which contributes to a clunky and frustrating user experience."
