As an avid gamer myself, I fully agree with your point. I guess in this thread there are a lot of people who, due to them being in tech, have a bit of a relationship with games but it's not really a big hobby. And as it happens, Steam

They absolutely earn it though. Steam just works. Heck, I've not bought games because they were not on Steam or required another launcher. Ubisoft and Rockstar are so bad that I held off on buying some games I really wanted to play

One of those "I have never wished a man dead, but I have read some obituaries with great pleasure."-moments. Time to rewatch "Vice"; Bale is incredible.

Many thanks for your work! Definitely looking forward to the upgrade - especially the performance-boosts with regards to tsc will be very welcome in our relatively large code-base, and the changes to discriminated unions will probably help
