Or, you know, a simple installer from the dev's website.

As a user there simply was/is no incentive to use other stores when the game is the same price. There has to be a reason for me to buy somewhere else.

Will you protect them from police raids and cover their legal costs for running a Tor node?

And it's quite likely they only have 10G locally, with way less bandwidth going to the outside.

But that doesn't help if Mozilla goes away

They require a lot of driver work to get everything working. Many of their chips for example only support h264 hardware decoding at the moment, although they would be capable of h265 as well. Another example would be the PineTab 2, which now after a few years has working wifi and an alpha bluetooth driver. Yes, it's always getting better, but very slowly and it might well take another few years until you can just run a mainline kernel with full hardware functionality.

None of them have the manpower or money to maintain a browser engine.

For reference, Opera stopped years ago and even Microsoft gave up.

I wonder when the year of people shut up about systemd will be

I meant what I wrote, but couldn't think of a better way to word it 😅

I'm focusing more on the community building and advancing software parts of the work they did/do. Some products are in a pretty good state, but that's not the case for others.

I don't have concerns about shipping, more about the community building and support aspect of their products.

If you're happy with a product's current state then fine, but if not you're pretty much on your own.

I wouldn't; perfectly placed mistake?
