    Honestly, I don’t need my FOSS stuff from Steam. Steam is a great platform, but I’d rather get open software from an open platform (meaning my distro’s package manager, or flathub as a fallback). Let FOSS support FOSS. Let Steam be a way to keep the proprietary stuff contained in its own walled garden (even if the walls on said garden aren’t very high).

    That sucks, were these the guys with that decryption key that made it into the source code. They ever patch that out?

      Sounds like they have no intention to:

      And to all the armchair lawyers out there, the letter to Valve did not make any claims that we were violating a US copyright by including the Wii Common Key, as a short string of entirely random letters and numbers generated by a machine is not copyrightable under current US copyright law. If that ever changes, the world will be far too busy to think about emulation.
