Only by hitting them in their wallets does this stop. Even tolerating it and it gets worse.
We’re stuck with this kind of behaviour though. What am I going to do? Throw out my Xbox because I don’t like what they’re doing? Maybe this will make people choose a different console next generation, but that’s barely sending a message if there’s only a couple of viable options.
I mean Sony has been pulling plenty of terrible shit and Nintendo hates their fans. PC is the only consumer friendly option and they're doing their best to make sure that stops.
Although I have my grievences with Valve for other reasons I do have to commend them for their efforts to make linux a way more viable gaming platform than I ever could have imagined. I think a full 2/3rds of my steam library is playable on linux, which is pretty good considering that's not something I considered when buying them.
