    That is a fair point. To me its horrible because I can no longer even share library with someone who is nearby but travels a lot. Not to mention, I dont accept that games I own cant be shared with people who arent nearby geographically. But its even more absurd that steam’s whatever system forbids even people who arent regularly nearby, its not just me, I’ve heard that from multiple people.

    It may be better for certain cases as you said. But there is no doubt in my mind that the goal was, at least partially, to stop people from sharing games in general. And I dont support that. I should be able to send my game to someone if I purchased it, and steam locking you from playing that game should be more than enough restriction in sharing.

    You are fair to disagree, there are multiple points you can say about my critiques here. Like steam doing this to subsidize the cost of hosting games and downloads. But for me, this family sharing change and me not being able to share with someone bc they travel was enough to push me over the fence of quitting steam. So to me, the family sharing change is a huge deal.

    as a linux gamer, i cant deny the good valve has done for linux gaming. but to me that doesnt excuse steam as a monopoly, the gambling, valve’s uncaring responses to steam scams and such. minor issues also irritate me, like their removal of library sharing (screw the new family bs they added), bs drm locks that dont let me play games without launching the app. i intend to stop using steam soon, for many reasons it sucks and i feel horrible paying them anything. and thats just me im not here arguing others should do that, do what u think is best for u. i find wine good enough for my games and i dont do online gaming so im fit for quitting steam

    pretending that biology/science exists without the social constructs or biases is a fool’s errand. sex is as much of a real thing as the concept of species, its a generalized idea of something that cant be easily divided or distinguished based on really anything. its made to fit the social construct we already had, science didnt sprung out in an unbiased form and has not grown out of it. the distinction is flawed and done sometimes for ease and sanity; but a lot of times because of bias
