Elden Ring better classified as an action RPG, to use an analog its more akin to PnP dungeon crawlers in how it approaches its RPG elements. While say Baldurs Gate 3 is closer to an extended campaign PnP game. They are both RPGs but that’s such a broad grouping so as to be meaningful, an atlatl and a welding torch are both tools but there’s no meaningful overlap.

Im a Utilitarian to a fault, of course I think the windows 95 version is just as valid. I wear everything down to scrap.

The fact that this business model earns moneu rather than car bombs annoys me.

Its fucking solitaire you can play the old version from windows 95 online for free. This is beyond fucking stupid.

Why, how, the fuck do you add microtransactions to fucking solitaire?!

Hey now some of them are weird ass intelligents. But yeah a lot of them aint that great.

I think theres also the secondary unstated factor some of us have, that being that Steam is working as a solid buffer against more malignant groups. The fact that Steam is for a lack of a better term incorruptible is frankly very useful, especially with groups like the Saudis and China investing a lot of money and influence into gaming recently. Better a flawed but ultimately decent corporation than whatever the fuck the Saudis or China would replace it with.

Also GOG will just decide at random that a game is infact 1 dollar for no reason.
