I can understand this one tbh. If someone was having heart issues and saw what they believed to be the grim reaper walking around, then he would have been directly responsible if they died of a heart attack. It's funny, but I understand that he could have accidentally caused real harm. So I'd be for giving him a warning assuming he didn't actually have malice

Welcome to our world

Some of my cats would sometimes open the cabinets and knock stuff off of them. If not for that, I usually put stuff I would not want them getting into like food on the counter

Streisand effect go brrrrrr

Don't worry, we're in the middle of a massive culture war at the moment, so there's absolutely no chance we can take steps to stop it unless we find a way to bury MAGA for good

Yeah, that's exactly what happened with Apple and Nintendo. Not to say they were perfect before, obviously not, but they at least had a soul and cared about their product a decent amount. Especially for what they became in the modern day. So yeah, once something happens to Gabe Newell and he gets replaced with a ruthless business that cares for nothing but profit, then I fear for what will happen to Steam

If only we got rid of the entire government and form an Ancapistan paradise here in America, then companies will lower their prices as the invisible hand just happens to do its thing. /j

Wait, Google is actually facing consequences. Am I dreaming?

To say that Steam is the one solely responsible for this is misleading. That would mean only gaming is switching to digital only. Spotify, Netflix, Hulu, YouTube, etc are also responsible for killing physical media outside of gaming

American or Celicus?

It might be a little too late for that since it was over a year ago, though I could be wrong

Nah, it wasn't for testifying against data centers, it was (probably) to save money after they no longer needed me. Basically, I worked at the Amazon warehouse in late 2024. To the detriment of my physical and mental well-being, I endured everything they threw at me, hoping to move up the ladder one day, but they apparently chose to stab me in the back at the very start of 2025. They just suddenly fired me out of the blue with no clear explanation. I didn't even find out until I tried to show up to work the next week and wondered why my badge wasn't working. During my appeal, I found that they claim that I didn't show up on 3 days that I hadn't been paid for yet. The manager promised to review the security footage to settle my dispute, but it appears he never did, as they ultimately denied my request—which means its impossible for him to have actually do so given that I am positive I was present on those days. I can't fight it in court since I didn't have the foresight to collect evidence to defend myself, so they hold all the cards and could just alter them to win. I have never forgiven Amazon and have boycotted them ever since, I even refuse to use Twitch because my grudge against Amazon isn't just a moral one, but a personal one. And no, I never got paid for the days they claimed I didn't show up for, so they got 36 hours of my labor for free (we were doing mandatory overtime for the holidays). So, when this article claims that they fire people who testified against data centers, I 100% believe it.
