  • The enshittification of Steam would really sting and significantly harm PC gaming as a whole.

    As GabeN ages, I really worry about the day when he finally hands control of that company over, because as soon as ROI becomes their primary objective, it’s game over.

    Prioritizing the experience and quality of the platform over profit maximization has actually earned them more money in the long run as they’ve slowly snowballed over all their competitors. I really hope the new stewards understand this and genuinely love gaming as a whole as it seems a lot of decision-makers at Valve currently do.

    “RTFM” (or similar comments like “it’s in the docs”) are just mean and useless without a reference.

    Like, okay, superior user in the internet: If it’s in the manual/docs, what page? Do you have a link? Could you quote the relevant section?

    Often people ask because they couldn’t find the answer in the docs. Simply pointing them at the answer is infinitely better than “lol the answer is in there somewhere”

    See also: “Let me Google that for you…” Like mf Google brought me to this thread!

    I can’t count the number of times I swear I read every man page and I can’t figure out how to structure my arguments–especially when they are nested or conditional.

    I especially wish more man pages had common examples. Sometimes an example can say more than a paragraph of explanation.
