@festus @headmetwall how do you make sure that when you load up a gog game that it does not launch the gog launcher? What are the steps?

@XenoStare @headmetwall that’s right. Steam is a business. They are not really for open source. Open source, is still a business model. It’s not public domain or libre software. Then can always make their stuff closed source at anytime. Just need to gather free work from the community and to elevate its private business. Still, there are articles detailing Valve as anti-consumer. It’s a search bar away.

@TWeaK I’m a little confused about the overall post and the UK position since we are talking about an American company but yes, alternative business models are needed. Thank you for contributing.

@Prione @prunerye Itch.io is what you may like.

@Fubarberry That's a bold strategy, cotton. Let see if it pays off.

@TWeaK @rambaroo valve is currently fighting France for the right of consumers to share and resell games purchased on steam.

@PMMEFEETPICS @njinx yes! This is why that we really need to start pushing for alternative gaming business methods. Itch.io is great for this. Better than gog in my eyes for really bringing forth gaming space to a more democratic and DRM free space. The mission needs to include more open source, libre software and we need to support that. Gamers making their games their way and not trusting third or fourth parties to get them there.

@TWeaK @LoafyLemon it’s not a co-op. Still, that would be an interesting business model in the gaming space. I think people would be down to support something really alternative. I’m tired of MS and apple and all these business that are still stuck in old school business mindset.

@LoafyLemon @boo @ono @DrVortex @rambaroo what book?

@MJBrune @DoucheBagMcSwag Standalone? The cool thing to do is build an ecosystem now. Thank you, apple :/. So, you can’t just have one item, you got to get the accessories and other items. Is this the future of Linux?

@SamboT @EdgelordOfTomorrow apple is going to buy valve and Sony and capcom.

@dingus @Eheran this sounds terrible. What are you going to do?

@WarmSoda there’s nothing more powerful than imagination (and dreams).

@HughJanus what did you get today?

@irmoz @constvoid systems

@CaptDust @DeNarm wow! What craziness. Do you accept this?

@Lettuceeatlettuce @notnotmike what do you mean?

@irmoz @constvoid we as gamers need to unite and not have to feel like we need to participate in this manner. We can create things we like on engines and systems of our choice. We make it worse by indulging in individualistic behavior of not standing by our fellow gamer.

@SkyeStarfall @xkforce how do you know this?

@WarmSoda @kadu it needs to be public domain or so that way anyone can get the rights to move forward with steam as the community demands it. An open source license will not go far enough.
