In a struggling company that's trying to seem like a good nonprofit? Not usually, no. Or at least it's ill advised. When the Google money stops or goes down, and they're looking for donations... It'll be hard to get people on board with financing that salary.

The CEO salary being around 7 millions, plus the newly added executives... Yeah.

I was about to suggest that as well.

I'd wager another better alternative will come up that'll be like Discord, get great traction, then go public, then enshitify. The cycle of crap software continues until a FOSS option appears.

That's the fun part, you don't really get to know.

Once you have shareholders, users don't matter anymore, you serve them instead.

Enshitification is on the horizon...

It depends on who your other friends are. It doesn't reflect well on you overall, I'd say, buy at the end of the day, having self respect means walking away when someone is this needlessly abrasive

Valve isn't perfect but they've been more often than not the good guy. Just recently, the TF2 community wanted more freedom to make full-fledged mods of their own, so Valve released the source code and allowed free standalone mods to be listed on the Steam store.

Nintendo can't stop suing. It's simply time to stop giving them money, cuz they're pissing it away on lawsuits against websites that are making available games Nintendo refuses to sell us.
