Change will require motivation too, as moving data from one computer to another can already be quite a heavy task that takes several days. On top of installing apps from scratch. It's why I got external SSD, which has done its job well. Thankfully despite all of its flaws Windows still keeps many things organized, like for example all user data tends to be in C:/Users/name/. If you don't want to lose anything important, you must backup/copy that at least.

I don't even use it yet, *LMAO*

I'm just too stuck with what I already have. I don't use my new portable computer / gaming system. I don't play the games I buy (which are no longer games bought on Steam). etc.

In theory, I will one day, and I make sure I get a good deal on everything I buy (though, I would have bought Steam Deck at close to full price if my mind hadn't been convinced to change).

It's not even about "voting with a wallet"; I don't believe in that doing ♥♥♥♥.
I just don't want to get further invested in something that I've lost trust in
(any more than I already am) or have any extra things in my life that will remind me of the helplessness I felt due to an irl issue from 6 years ago.

You know the one. Most of you who are able to comment here do.

Nice choice, hopefully it's been serving you well. And indeed, if more people used their wallets to express their satisfaction (or lack thereof in this instance), then something might eventually get done and things could change. 😉

Oh yeah. I also bought an ROG Ally. lol

If it weren't for all the times that Support has lied to me (and others that I care about) and shown me prejudice by doing things like assuming my emotional state (calling me angry when I wasn't ...I was after they closed my ticket and used my non-existent emotional state as a reason ...because they're prejudiced) then I'd have bought a Steam Deck over the last year instead of buying as much in Undertale merchandise from Fangamer as I have, or Nintendo Switch games for the kids.

That's money that Valve could have had. Ohhhhh... WHOOPS! TOO BAD!

And they never apologized for their past lies and prejudiced claims either, so it's not "all better" in my book, just because they did the right thing and actually helped me understand the issue with the profile.

...btw, the issue was that I linked to BGO as one of the games that I like to play with friends. Yuuuuup. BGO. They said that Board Game Online was an advertisement. Doesn't make sense to me. They must be really scared about someone donating money to BGO instead of spending it on Steam.

...but apparently they're not worried about lying to users in the Support ticket system causing them to lose faith in Valve & Steam and to just cut back spending and miss out on Steam Deck sales and such. I also won't be telling my nieces and nephews to use Steam in the future. They're on Nintendo, and I'm just going to feed that interest.
