#463512 — Say farewell to Steam

FromAndrzej Matuch <a.m@vt.ca>

SubjectSay farewell to Steam
Message-ID<hcAdD.158022$Nx7.158005@fx31.iad>

Summary: Publishers are becoming increasingly disillusioned with Steam 
because it has become the de facto method to distribute games and are 
creating their own platforms. For Linux, this can be a significant 
development as big name titles will likely no longer become available to 
them and gamers will be forced to turn to independent titles exclusively.

I really don't care as major players doesn't release for Linux anyway.
My rule is simple. If there is no native Linux version, I don't buy it.

I don't know why, but I thought you also run Windows. 
Is that not the case?

No. I run Windows only in virtualbox (once in three months ;).

Is all your development done on Linux (have you *ever* done on 
any a Mac)?

On last job I had Mac to develop for Linux. On new job, they moved me to Windows
project so I use Windows and VS ;p
I was received as Linux/C++ expert ;)
Don't worry, when I finish Windows project I will do Linux again ;)

What was the reasoning behind that, why not just use Linux 
to develop for Linux?

Never used it but I do like the little free VS Code app.

Do you prefer Linux apps and developing for Linux all the time?

Well, yes. I apply for Linux jobs, if possible. Actually, when I look at
it from programming perspective, I really don't care....

Do you work on a per project basis (in other words, are you not employed 
by a company full time)?

I see. Are you doing any of it in Rust, or is that just being used for your 
personal stuff (I believe it was you doing Rust)?

FFS are you paranoid. How is it "nosey" to ask anyone about computer
related issues in a computer related newsgroup? Can't win with you, can
I? LOL!

You're as confused as you are about my alleged 'nosiness'; hh was the one 
doing the trolling. Just because I don't buy the 'stats tell all' argument is no
reason to play the race card and spew of bunch of other BS. If stats were as 
'holy' as he seems to believe, he would've been right about open the source 
software movement all these years, yet, the facts show he's as wrong as 
anyone has ever been about anything.

These posts are clearly not automated, they are made by an overmedicated pervert with a personal vendetta who has way too much time on his hands (and possibly has other shills helping him). Klaus Schadenfreude created at least one major circus in the last year or so. Let us all have a moment of silence as we honor his accomplishments! Sandman, AKA Jonas Eklundh and Klaus Schadenfreude both lie ceaselessly and flagrantly and continue to do so. So no point in showing any further respect or judiciousness. 

For most I would just think it is dubious. However, given that it's Sandman, AKA Jonas Eklundh I would dump that step and go straight to 'trolling' because that's most of what he does. No need to find evidence before accusing Sandman, AKA Jonas Eklundh of lying. Like most in here, Sandman, AKA Jonas Eklundh relies on biased science to contrive stances on current events. Therefore, he only is aware of and speaks of the government reports which also happens to be the ones which describe education in hopeful and principled slant. Marketing is a wonderful thing and consumer ignorance is even better. 

I think the person you are replying to is in my kill file. 

Now Klaus Schadenfreude on the other end of the crap doesn't matter. All that matters is Sandman, AKA Jonas Eklundh gets to deliver the punchline. So how to handle it? Don't respond to the moron. Logic isn't part of stratagem and never will be.

Earlier today, Carroll, you accused me of lying about your flood bot 
posts. Why not quote the lie you say I told about them?

Stop playing victim. You refused to answer questions, whined about what 
stats you wanted as -hh showed things were better than your standard, 
then said stats did not matter, and on and on and on as you pushed your 
often clearly bigoted crap.

Over and over, the refrain is the Script Troller wants to "talk tech", but the Script Troller spends most of his time whining about "trolling". 

If the Script Troller calls getting shoved into kill filters for years on end by Jeff Relf and me 'trolling', then no doubt... he is a great troll. I can not agree with that definition, I use another term. I call that person an utter doofus. A flaming bush that never burns, magnified by the reciprocal of an infinite twin prime, demonstrating the vast nothingness of the Script Troller's so-called thought process. His dream is to see me frustrated by the spraying of the groups outside. And hey, that could kill this group. 

It was the Script Troller who flooded Jeff Relf's site hundreds of thousands of times and pretended he did not do it. By the way, taking effort potentially getting informed isn't wasted time. Asserting you know all and working to 'prove' Jeff Relf that it is true, as the Script Troller tries to do? *That* is a waste. Why does the Script Troller focus on his own ego so much? Jeff Relf has a bunch of wisdom to contribute and he apparently wants to share it. Sadly this is without a doubt the least appropriate locale for doing that because most of response is howling, misleading, and other baloney.
