    I will stick to emulating 30 year old video game consoles and fan reimplementations like OpenMW and OpenRCT2. I am driven by pure spite. They will never get me!

      Yeah. It’s wild to me that the idiots making these enshitification decisions don’t understand this.

      I could retreat into my existing installed Steam library for decades, to avoid their crap, if necessary.

      And my retro game catalog dwarfs my modern game catalog, since I’ve been collecting those games longer and some of them are devilishly hard to master.

        The Magmoor Bomb Jump energy tank in the original version of Metroid Prime wants to say hello.

        They understand perfectly. Enough people don’t share our attitude and so this kind of behaviour is still profitable for them!
