I agree, I should. TV shows and movies should be accessible on multiple platforms, there's a reason they are the most pirated forms of media. I have huge issue with all console exclusives too. I admit it's not exactly the same if you own the studio/IP, but in an ideal world, them IPs would still exist elsewhere to give consumers more choice. So it's just another hurdle I'd like the industries to overcome. I couldn't give a shit about big corpo, only the consumers getting freedom of choice.
I just don't buy exclusives at all anymore, even if they are timed. I couldn't give a shit about triple A games either, which are usually the exclusives anyway. I'm not sure what the Alan Wake ramble is about, but I'm sure people complained about it, they always have.
Just because it exists in some form, doesn't make it okay to continue it. Bringing up examples of exclusivity in other mediums isn't a counter-argument.
I am genuinely confused to learn what you think a TV station does.
And we've gotten to the part where we learn that you somehow have an extremely hard opinion about a subject you don't care at all about and have very little awareness of.
Which is fine, but it'd save the rest of us a lot of time if you translated that lack of interest and awareness into something other than aggressively expressing a preference, because this was both time consuming and pointless.
I'm not going to continue a discussion where you just constantly deflect. So have a good day.
I haven't "deflected" anything. Pointing out things you like about Valve is entirely irrelevant to whether or not they hold a dominant position on the market. "I really like Halo" is not a counterargument to "Microsoft's dominance in the desktop OS space needs regulatory intervention". Those things are unrelated.
But hey, nobody forces you to talk to me. In fact, given what you've said in this conversation I'm postively puzzled about why you are talking about this, beyond the fact that you hang out in online spaces where "good guy Valve make Linux good" is a simplistic trope to build a sense of parasocial belonging around.
