Steam is a good service compared to the alternatives, but corpos will always be corpos. Having loyalty to any company, no matter how good they seem will inevitably lead to disappointment. That said…the vast majority of my game library is from steam, but I have been trying to get more of my games from GOG. Its best to be safe cause you never know when companies like valve will go mask mask off and become the next EA or Microslop.
He could invest it into the community which serves his employees instead of a company to serve billionaires. He chooses how his money is spent, and it isn’t thanking the people who maintaining and cleaning the roads he drives on.
We are taking about boats, and the account of emissions we make buying products from China outpace vehicle emissions about 5 fold. Plus the original content was about yachts so it’s relevant to that.
I do agree China has made huge improvements. They are miles ahead of America.

This. I was telling friends back when Google’s motto was “Don’t be evil” because the rule is never trust a corporation.
Then again, I grew up around the home of WalMart so I guess I may have been used to shitty tactics with the veneer of “helping the community”
I guess if they ever decide to go public, that would be the start of the enshittification process.
What’s wrong with having yachts, and a yacht company?
The business provides a service, employes people, most of his employees made a million a year.
He could invest it into the community which serves his employees instead of a company to serve billionaires. He chooses how his money is spent, and it isn’t thanking the people who maintaining and cleaning the roads he drives on.
So those people in the industry would just lose their jobs, and apply at the local food pantry?
Excessive emissions.
But we still buy from china, and yachts are like 0.01% of boat emissions.
China is actively trying to go green, the fuck that have to do with anything?

A cargo ship helps how many people?
A yacht only helps a single billionaire.
They are not comparable.
So emissions is ok if it helps people get cheap disposable crap?
Emissions and their impact exist in the context of the value they produce and to whom that value benefits… duh?
