From my perspective, this is another reason it’s a bad idea to have an American company (even a somewhat user-focused one like Valve) be a steward of modern digital services. Local culture puts too much emphasis on the theatrical elements of morality.
You’re welcome to perceive what I am saying as a reflexive “America bad” outburst driven by current developments.
And I will take the liberty of saying that it is possible that there is significant nuance to my arguement.
Not to mention that I’ve lived for several years across multiple countries in North America, Europe and Asia and visited another 25 countries.
Btw, I am not only flexing with the “I have travelled the world!!!” comments. :)
I am also pointing out that it would be difficult for me to enjoy living/travelling in other countries if I reflexively said things like “This place sucks! What a shithole!”.
Yeah, I hear you. It should be based in a sane country like Australia or the United Kingdom or China or Japan.
Point is, making this an ‘America bad’ problem is just ignoring that it could be so much worse if it was based elsewhere.
The issue is the power, not who wields it.
