Almost exactly 5 days ago this talk by Tobias Platen was uploaded to the LibrePlanet instance of MediaGoblin. Its summary is: "It is well known that Valve distributes non-free DRMed games via their Steam Platform, including many VR games. As a gamer who cares about freedom, I avoid those games. Since my computer is based on the FSF certified Talos II Mainboard and POWER9 CPU, I'm technically unable to install those non-free games and the Steam Client Software. Instead I go for Freedom-To-Play games, included in many GNU/Linux distributions. (in some cases even SteamOS without having to use Steam). I'll also improve existing "open source" games and make them truly freedom respecting. This does not mean that those games have to be gratis, I think of a way to enable users to pay for Freedom-To-Play games using Taler."
Here is the video (WebM) of his talk. █
