Not that weird or hostile really, just a fair response to someone coming in and saying, “nah, this one” like an indecisive baby at a toy shop, with no reasoning or argument as to why their choice could be considered better.

Got it. It’s more to do with the case of an off-site backup in-case-your-house-burns-down scenario. Thanks.

RAID is not a backup anyhow

Can you expand on that? I have a 2-bay NAS with a RAID 1 (disk mirroring) set up precisely because I thought if one disk fails I have a backup. Is that not how it works?

I’m happy to pay a premium for convenience. Steam is a great product that saves me from having 20 different store-fronts clogging up my computer, most of which wouldn’t have proper Linux support. If developers don’t like Steam’s terms of use then don’t use it, and best of luck selling your game that nobody ever sees.
