There are better ways to do what you are implying. The entire FOSS movement is an example of this.

Free doesn’t mean free beer.

The way I understand about this stack is that it still relies on steam architecture under the hood. So emulation of the steam client to run the game is what has to occur?

Well in that case I can agree.

I’m contested on this. The thing is, this logic applies everywhere even the extremely evil corpos like nvidia, palantir, etc. There will always be someone scraping the bottom earning for scraps in all different types of companies.

So where do we draw the line? How evil must the company be so it is fair to leave the lower level employees behind?

Ultimately, I dont think it is fair for the consumers. We are drawned in this choice where support for the lower class means feeding the executive class. It all trickles down, and thats the problem.
