    No.

    As a person who resisted hard 20 years ago, they earned it. I didn’t get used to it, I found value. In cloud saves, in steam sales, in no pushy advertising, and so on.

    As a Linux user over 20 years they also did what nobody else really tried. That matters a lot.

      My husband remembers buying The Ship in a store, and when he went to install it out said he had to install something called Steam for the multiplayer. He was baffled and annoyed.

      Now all the games we have save a few from GOG are steam.

      They failed at first attempt with steamOS, but they learned the lesson, and came back swinging with years of preparation.
