Yeah me too since I don’t really play multiplayer games developed by valve anymore.

I will say though, to me it is a lot more than just loot boxes. These “in game” items have real world value which add to the risk reward factor that made them so addictive to me growing up

Valve hasn’t really done much to stop this issue

I think people just ignore and don’t pay attention to them. Also valve is great at hiding them.

It’s no secret that a lot of their ventures are funded by child gambling addictions that valve has enabled

I don’t use the Amazon launcher, but I’m pretty sure the Amazon games are DRM free as well. Not sure if it’s all of them but I know a lot are

If you only judge games based on graphics, I understand your point of view.

But I think it can be argued that Nintendo’s gameplay/design is pretty often up to date, if not ahead of it’s time. And tbh to me that matters the most.

Ex: Mario Wonder, Odyssey, BOTW, TOTK, Metroid Dread, Animal Crossing, etc

I once knew a guy named Harry Hooker

How come? I’ve been out of the open source loop recently

What mods do you currently use?

Haven’t heard too many people asking for one either
