Do you install Steam on your PC despite it being spyware or do you just outright abandon videogames?

i just use steam but if you cared about your privacy so much you refuse to, just pirate your games?
Ethan Long
yes, I prefer to get games from gog if they have them. but if it's not on gog, I use steam. I'm no absolutist.
Ethan Howard
What about multiplayer games though? Unfortunately Steam is a necessary evil until someone creates an open-source store. It will be the only closed-source software I'll ever install.

My favourite schizo website that lists everything that connects to the internet as spywarr
Jack Reyes
steam comes with google analytics
it's easy to block if you have a pi-hole or nextdns
unless op is talking about it being proprietary bc thats another can of worms

Software shouldn't be connecting you to the internet, much less sharing your data with anyone or saving your browser history.

If you don't have a separate physical machine just for pozzed shit like steam, it's already over.
Chase Bennett
Do you also have a different internet provider for each of your machines? Because if not then that's useless.
Grayson Powell
they already know everything about you

>omg if you voluntarily provide your payment info and address to purchase something on their platform or use their communication service and they store that info then it's literally spyware
really nigga
this website even lists displaying your hours as some kind of privacy issue, which you CAN turn off.
if you're that concerned, use the flatpak, don't add any friends (like you have them anyway), only play free games, and reject their hardware surveys. all they get is your email, which is a given in 2001+21

I don't play video games and if you do you're a nigger
Summer brought all Any Forumstards on this board again. Kindly neck yourself back to your shithole
Anthony Roberts
Nah, the only gaming platform you need is GGn
Carson Davis
You’re correct in your assumption that I don’t have any friends
Ian Peterson
support the devs you fool
Gabriel Bailey
>don't add any friends (like you have them anyway)
rude

Cope faggot. (I don't disagree) but kill yourself

Privacy isn't all or nothing, that still wouldn't be useless. Not having constant scanning and telemetry by using a secure distro is still a gain. From your perspective as soon as an android phone ever goes within 50 metres of your house it's over.
Luis Gutierrez
nah I like living its fun. have a nice day ma'am.
Connor Cooper
Stop playing multiplayer games then.
Owen Brooks
You don't need steam to play video games, you retard zoomer. You can just pirate everything and put it on a Windows PC you keep offline.

You grow up sometime around your sophomore year of high school and stop playing video games for the same reason that you stopped you playing Candy Land when you were 13.
