What exactly is the problem? What would be different if it wasn’t sponsored by Microsoft and Google? It would be sponsored by others and they do the exact same job. I am not saying you have to use it. I just don’t get the point as a reason to avoid. I mean look, maybe if you have good reasoning maybe I will change my mind and avoid it too. But would you avoid Linux too then?

Sponsored just means its giving money to do the job. Otherwise, Linux and many other open source projects are sponsored by Microsoft and Google.

I think this is the right page that addresses this question: https://www.softwareheritage.org/mission/software-is-fragile/

I know how most of us feel about Amazon, but they do let you refund and return anything you order for any reason

Here in Germany, its is by law that any online shop has to offer a refund without questions. So imagine like Amazon, but for any shop. This is one of the pro-consumer laws here that I don’t want to miss.

Don’t tell me what to do.

Steam is where Indie stars are born. Epic is where games die.

Just like big corporations. Money is the reason why they go closed source… the fear of using their open source code, while using others open source software.

Not all of them.

Well Deadlock didn’t officially launch yet.
