  • I agree. But I’m also keeping in mind that this is the situation capitalists claim to want: competition for everyone to continually improve. They just missed the part where they were supposed to improve and not make things worse. Aside from that, with all the major sites people think of like EA and Epic, it makes things even more difficult to topple that monopoly. Everyone wants to have their games in a convenient place. Having competition is incompatible with what players would want, because they’d need eight different launchers for games. I’m fully content with cycling itch and steam when I want what one or the other offers. For what I imagine is most people, it’s easier to use just one list/site that already has everything.



  • This isn’t exactly new. But it’s still problematic, especially in today’s age. And also much bigger now because of today’s age. Mainstream media is owned either by the right-wing, or by the rich who just surrender to the leading power (which in this case is the right wing anyway). My politically literate friends understand this, at least. But when the major media outlets are unreliable, it leaves either unknown or biased sources of information or citizen journalists (who have their own biases). So there’s no reliable outlet of information that favors the left, at least any that would be considered trustworthy in the wider media sphere. So again, this isn’t news to the politically literate. Those that aren’t get perpetually stuck in the right wing infosphere, because that’s the only “reliable,” known sources, in their perception.
