    Mentioning Valve when I Iiterally only mentioned Linux and MS is whataboutism.

    You do get your games through Steam, don’t you? It’s a fairly safe assumption given that you stated you play on Linux. Valve monopoly there is even stronger than on Windows.

    Gaming spaces are full of pointless negativity these days so my „whataboutism” was meant to showcase that much of it is rooted in tribalism, serves no other purpose than to feel good about yourself and it can cut both ways.

    That there is the main reason I left reddit. Go find some windmills to fight.

    There’s plenty of gaming communities in the Fediverse to pick from, you won’t find me in other ones.

        Microsoft is a huge company so unless it’s the gaming division doing the Gaza genocide then you’re engaging in an actual whataboutism that you dislike so much.

          I hate to come to these terms because I don’t know you personally and I’m sure you’re othewise a wonderful chap but the sentence quoted above is profoundly idiotic at every level. Please don’t stoop to this level of stupidity, it’s beneath your intelligence I’d wager.

          I’ll provide an example so you can see it too.

          Microsoft Russia is a huge company country so unless it’s the gaming division Abramovic doing the Gaza Donbass genocide, then you’re putting sanctions on him is engaging in an actual whataboutism that you dislike so much.

            I think you forgot to make a point in your comment, unless saying my opinions are dumb is everything you wanted to communicate. In that case, may I ask you to elaborate on why you think that is because all I’m seeing is a speedrun of Godwin’s law.
