The article might as well be “Valve Says Counter-Strike 2 for macOS Not Happening Because We Have a Vested Interest In Selling Steam Decks” just as Apple isn’t porting iMessage (and other apps) to Android because they have a vested interest in selling iPhones.

I’m all for games being as cross-platform as possible, but considering how Apple doesn’t offer apps such as iMessage, Facetime, etc. on other platforms, I’m less sympathetic to them for this.

Apple users chose a famously closed ecosystem, so they shouldn’t be surprised when some things aren’t available to them.

I’d like one if still available, please.

I’d be interested in an outlet that:

• Does not accept free copies/codes for game or early copies of the games. Access journalism is a plague.
• Brings in guests to the show/podcast/whatever who are proficient and knowledgeable about the games being discussed. I don’t expect the hosts to be experts, but I’m tired of hearing layman’s takes on games that I’m interested in.

Would you be interested in supporting an outlet financially? If it’s a good product, I’d support a Patreon or whatever.

Do you have any preferred platforms? Would you be interested in an outlet that prioritizes the Fediverse over Twitch, Youtube, etc.? I think it would be best to post content cross-platform otherwise you risk having a dead community or, worse, a circlejerk community.

Do you have a preference between written content, video, audio? I think video and written are a minimum nowadays with audio being a nice bonus.****
