Until you acknowledge that my position has nuance and is not diametrically opposed to yours, there is no reason to engage in debate.

You’ve repeatedly misrepresented my stance to make it an easy target for dismissal.

I asked you to point out where I made the claims you attributed to me, you did not.

I think you also need to give up the idea that everyone on a given platform will be as ‘enlightened’ as you are.

Everyone has their own thoughts and opinions. There is infinite room for microscopic differences. Straw-manning and pigeon-holing does nothing but annoy people and make you look boorish. Nobody wants to engage with that.

I will acknowledge that if and when you make a position with actual nuance. "You can't compare Valce to Activision because valve makes free games" isn't nuanced and is just ignorant.

I asked you to point out where I made the claims you attributed to me, you did not.

???? No you didn't? I even just re read this whole thread. You literally never asked that????

I think you also need to give up the idea that everyone on a given platform will be as ‘enlightened’ as you are.

Clearly.

Everyone has their own thoughts and opinions.

Yep, some people have class consciousness and actually want to talk about the failures of capitalism and the atrocity of people having billions of dollars while others starve and live on the streets. And others want to defend those billionaires because they run a company that made a video game they liked 20 years ago.

Try the first line of my reply here: https://sh.itjust.works/comment/15461276

I encourage you to point out where I did that. I think, you'll find, I agree with you, for the most part.

So let’s start with that and work our way from there.

Oh, that? I pointed that out in the next reply. But to reiterate.

Valve give you AAA games. For free. No material restrictions on game-play or competitive advantage. They pay for the server hosting, anti-cheat and matchmaking.

The provide a storefront that anyone can sell their games on. And they don't contract you into exclusivity periods like others do.

You dismiss decades of anti consumer bullshit and exploration of workers because "valve give you AAA games for free"

Which, AGAIN(!!!), is something those other shitty companies do, but you don't dismiss their anti-consumer bullshit because of it. Which is pretty clear evidence you are caught up in the Valve circlejerk.

So since it's clear you don't give a shit about anything and just want to justify your own world view. And you dontn have the mental capacity or the humility to change your opinion, I'm done here, you can only waste more of my time and make me more depressed at the lack of awareness.
