It's so much better. Personally I don't hope it grows much either. Satisfies my content itch, have still had some good quality convos here, seen some great comments threads. Absolutely none of the bullshit that Reddit purposely encourages. Plus most of the zeebs and the chronically offended seemed to have stayed with reddit, and I'm super OK with that.

Also $700 isn't going to buy you much of a PC if you don't have one already. Maybe mid spec 1080p.

Not that I'm arguing for PC. I'm pro-console in most circumstances. Only for power modders, power gamers or power purchasers would I maybe argue that PC is the better route. Everyone else, console 100% (except this joke of a console).

AI is just boomer fuel. The amount of boomers running around at our firm that have turned into AI bots is hilarious. Every solution, every question, "ai ai ai ai ai ai ai"

I enjoy making humourous pictures of them and their 9 fingered hands using AI. We've cranked some great memes out lately.

RTO just means "layoffs" under a different branding. These gross companies know how to be extra gross. When they really want to actually do a big layoff, that's when they'll roll out the "RTO" policy.

User friendly I would agree. Definitely has the best UX. Not sure I would agree that it's the cheapest though.

Could someone (politely) explain why anyone who criticizes steam gets absolutely scorched?

I mean I'm a user, on the PC it's probably the platform I purchase on the most. I've also used Epic, GOG, and a few of the others. Like most, I'm getting pretty annoyed by having to load what seems like 15 different platforms to play a variety of games.

But I've never understood this blind absolute cult-like following of steam. What makes them absolutely beyond any reproach or criticism? Especially when at least Epic gives away lots of free games (like I think I've spent about $20 bucks on that platform, yet it seems like I have just about every game known to man in my library). Or others that don't mess around with DRM, etc. So what gives?

Considering it's made by Microsoft, I'm going to go out on a limb here and suggest it's compatible with Windows. Specifically Windows 10 and 11 I believe.

I'm on a replay of the single player campaign, and since this update the map is laggy as hell, and it's dropping frames like crazy.

Monetary policy makes the world go round, unfortunately.

I believe the ICC does have a dispute forum. But when you get to these IGOs, it's unbelievable how many there are. Could probably bring the complaint forward in multiple other forums too.

Ah I get you, sorry, I stand corrected. Surely such a claim would come forward through the WTO though, would it not? Would the ICC (the Chamber of Commerce) have enough teeth as the forum for what's surely a monumental case?
