    Steam isn’t currently trying to use your playtime as a way to determine what you can and cannot buy

          You’re giving the wrong reinforcement for the wrong reason. You’re afraid of what they may do in several years, so you’re negatively reinforcing the good decision they’re making right now. You should, instead, give them positive reinforcement for making good decisions so that they continue to make good decisions. What you’re currently doing is discouraging them from making public statements about their policy changes.

            I don’t think Nintendo gives a flying fuck about my ‘reinforcement’, positive or negative. All I’m trying to do issue a warning about where these kinds of decisions and policies can very quickly end up.

            Today, it may be a good thing (I would argue its not, but not the point rn), but as soon a money can be made, they will weaponize it. It’s what capitalism does.
