The fun never ends. Clearly xbox is failing so they are trying their hardest to extract as much money as possible from whoever still hasnt sold their console yet

        its interface puts anything steam related to the top, so in a sense it is advertising itself.

        Let’s say you’re planning to get Silksong. You could buy it off from GOG by switching to desktop mode, running Heroic, searching back the game and buy it. Alternatively you can just search it on Steam and buy there with no previous steps.

      getting it once and not pushing back, means you’ll get it twice… then three times… then anytime you boot. then anytime you load a game, then while you’re playing a game.

      you’re being raped and justifying it because ‘it could be worse’

      like you said, something you paid for should not show ads, yet it is…
