Completely ignores financial contributions.
Disingenuous? Dumb? Who knows!?
most of the code was already there

Oh look, another boring block of text so you can avoid replying to the commentor who proved you're either dumb or just lying.
We get it, your point can be dumbed down to a mouth-breathing "capitalism bad".
Obviously I didn't mean what I said, or understand any of the details about my claims. I'm just saying capitalism bad!
😪
Yes, yes, we get it.
The nuance is here in this thread, in multiple comments that have clearly demonstrated that you have no idea what you're talking about.
But you're too busy backpedaling and jerking off about how much you hate billionaires to actually engage with any of those points. Or more likely, you know you're too ignorant to respond to them.
Microsoft contributes a lot of stuff to open source but that's really far away from my point.
Microsoft is not a fair comparison to Steam, hence why I refocused to Xbox.
I'm explaining myself because you are being a child and taking my words way to literally. Microsoft being slightly worse does not make steam "good".
"Obviously I didn't mean what I said, don't be a child!" 🙄
Valve can run and offer the same services it does now on a fraction of what they charge.
They could even do it for free, out of the goodness of their hearts!
"Explain it to me or you lose" is insanely childish behavior, specially when I just explained that's not what I meant and you are being too literal but I mean, here
"I was told there would be no fact-checking"
Explain to me why you think Gaben deserves a net worth of 4 000 000 000 $.
Wow, those goalposts are really movin' now!
That is who you are being a mouthpiece for, stop defending billionaires.
See my previous comment about how boring and smug your take is.
So just a boring, generic anti-capitalist take that deliberately avoids any nuance for the sake of feeling smug.
Gee, why would anyone downvote that!
They leveraged open source to compete on the console front without actually investing dev time. If he could have created a closed system for the same cost, he wouldn't of hesitated. It was nothing more than a smart business decision, not a nice favor because he likes you.
I asked you a question. Show me contributions to open-source on the same scale by Xbox and Nintendo. If it's so much cheaper, why aren't they doing it too?
Most of the Gaben simps just throw back the same thing, "well, they aren't as bad as microsoft".
Mussolini wasn't as bad as Hitler, can you image defending him though? Stop bootlicking billionaires.
I'm also not saying Microsoft is better, I'm saying they are all in the same club and they all suck.
No, you said they were exactly the same and that Gabe was colluding with them. Now you're backpedalling because you realized how stupid of a take that was.
Your argument was that Steam is identical to Microsoft and Nintendo, and that Gabe is colluding with them. Stop moving the goalposts.
There is nothing rhat differentiates Steam from Microsoft or Nintendo.
How much do Xbox and Nintendo contribute to open-source projects?
How do I use open-source software OOTB on an Xbox or Switch?
Is the person censoring you in the room with us right now?
You are more than welcome to:
If you want to keep spouting them off, go right ahead. But I'm going to mock you for it.
Plug your ears if you're incapable of upping your game.
