Remember you dont own your steam game
Where i stand is fuck AI and Nvidia.. no money for them ever. Pirate/Emulate Nintendo and Sony.. no exceptions. Keep Xbox Gamepass as long as it is 15 Bucks (which it is for me because thankfully i am not ameritard). Spend money on Steam, Gog and your local gamestore and never ge
