Then don't announce your random opinion into the void then?

If you're going to stand on the street corner and shout about how the world is coming to an end, don't be upset when people ask you to provide some evidence.

I'm not trying to suggest people shouldn't be allowed to respond negatively to an opinion. But I'm also allowed to not want to engage. Any "evidence" I provide is just going to get shot down. Everyone's mind is already made up on the topic. Steam can do no wrong, apparently. Despite the fact that I even said it's the best and that I like it, everyone just wants to attack for me for having the gall to suggest it's less than perfect.

It's not like I hate it. The criticisms are minor. I just don't want to get online and feel like I'm being interrogated. So no, I'm not going to "provide evidence." There are hills I'm willing to actually willing to argue about, but this isn't one. Life's too fucking short to explain my minor criticisms with the best digital PC game store when we all know everyone is just going to respond with things Valve does that are good and act like that magically erases the bad. Everyone's already been doing in this thread.

I experienced the same shit back with BG3 when the hype train was at critical levels. I'd talk about my frustrations that everyone said it was a "polished" game by talking about the bugs/UX difficulties I was experiencing. I'd get mocked to no end. Even then I'd always say the game is great and I'm loving it along every criticism. But people don't care. It's just tribalism. They see someone criticizing a thing they like and can't handle it.

So no, I'm not going to explain why I view Steam as an enshitified platform. Because it's pointless and I know everyone is already going to disagree and pile on even further. And it's a minor criticism.

I swear, it's like people are thinking I'm saying EGS is the bastion of Linux gaming or something because I said I have minor issues with Steam. It's just exhausting.
