Steam gets all my gaming budget, as I really try to stick to Linux.

If it ain't on steam, I don't play it, and they don't get my money.

How does it feel to rent your games from Valve?

I prefer it to renting from Nintendo, Sony, Microsoft, Epic and Ubisoft.

And prefer not having to haul a library of physical media with me everywhere at the minuscule risk of losing access to said games.

weird you are fine with Steam, but Epic has the exact same format and it's a problem.

I choose YouTube music over Spotify and Apple Music, as well.

It's almost like, sometimes the company itself has some amount of influence on your choice.

Linux surpasses the Mac among Steam gamers
