Most of us in Lemmy know the importance of privacy and owning your devices in a big tech owned world (me included) but for once I thought to make the opposite question and ask if there are products by them that you actually use and enjoy them.

Important to say, I mean products you use even though there are alternatives, not monopolies like YouTube.

Agreed, but the prices on Steam are fucking ridiculous nowadays so they can occasionally put things on “sale”

I just opened it and it was trying to sell me Half Life Alyx for sixty fuckin quid

Thats fair but steam is such a blessing imo:

  • Its so convenient
  • linux support is huge and better than windows with some games
  • family sharing, etc…

The standard price for AAA games on all platforms went up somewhat recently, at least where I’m at. It’s not just steam that went up, I think that’s just the industry standard nowadays, as crappy as it is.

Seems like a regional issue? Steam has the same price as any other store here in the US. Excluding subscriptions.
