You might be on to something, if the roman alphabet was owned by a corporation that’s actively encouraging and profiting off said nazis

In the same sense that we call twitter a nazi platform without accusing everybody using it of being a nazi, same logic applies here.

Yes, I also already edited my comment with a link going into the incidents and why they’re absolute nonsense.

The model ‘blackmailed’ the person because they provided it with a prompt asking it to pretend to blackmail them. Gee, I wonder what they expected.

Have not heard the one about cancelling active alerts, but I doubt it’s any less bullshit. Got a source about it?

Edit: Here’s a deep dive into why those claims are BS: https://www.aipanic.news/p/ai-blackmail-fact-checking-a-misleading

folks like you who think they’re a serious competitor

Yeah that’s exactly what my bashing of their pathetic excuse at a storefront was implying.

tens of billions of dollars, like uber did

You’re comparing the cost of building a simple software platform (and face it, Steam isn’t THAT complicated to replicate from a technical perspective) to a company hiring tens of millions of people worldwide for billions of man hours and hardware depreciation. Your estimates are so unrealistic it’s hilarious.

Find me another alternative that isn’t riding on the coattails of pre-existing billions in revenue.

Why would I? I’m not making any claims myself, merely pointing out the ridiculousness of yours.

There’s no good competitors because the money isn’t there to build one. […] Would take tens of billions of dollars today to get in there on top of having near feature parity.

This is ridiculous bullshit. Epic had shitloads of money, they just couldn’t find their ass with both hands. It took them years to implement a freaking shopping cart.

I sincerely doubt that even if another launcher did everything Steam does, it would rival it. People already use Steam.

At that point, you can start grabbing business from steam via promotions and such. You don’t need to rival or outgrow Steam to break into the market, you just need a bit of the market.

And that’s assuming they get to this point, ignoring that Steam had decades to get there. It used to be ass.

It’s not even that other launchers have less features than Steam. It’s just that other than GoG, which has a very limited catalog and no regional pricing, there is not a single store that is not actively anti-consumer to a hilarious extent.
