The 'enshittification' of the Steam games platform is inevitable, and there are already warning signs.

    My primary complaint with Steam is the quality of the games.

    I’ve had a Steam account now for… let’s see here… 19 years:

    Being primarily a console gamer, I rarely used it until I bought a Steam Deck. Then I went looking for Steam exclusive games I couldn’t otherwise play on my Xbox Series X, PS5, Nintendo Switch…

    What I found was a lot of garbage porn games, and a lot of garbage anime games, and a lot of garbage anime porn games.

    It’s super difficult finding something worth while to play. So it’s not a surprise to me to see that the #1 game is eight years old:

    I do hope to see more competition in the Linux gaming space. It’s not good long term to fully rely on Valve for everything.
