I so badly do not want this to be true but I think you're right. Its basically a Shiticon Valley special.

I agree with both of those, the prior more than the latter.
There is a huge amount of value IMO though to normies being available on Threads for me though because I can finally interface with them in a neutral way on my own terms, while still coming in contact with them.
Their problems usually range to why I don't have an instagram, and how come they can't interact with me. I LOVE FOSS. But I am able to see that there are some trade offs and this is about as close as I'll come to seeing these two worlds bridging.
Epic games has its own store: its competing. There is no way they want to support the steamdeck right now. Same goes for xbox/Activision in a lot of ways and anything they're doing for the time being is just a way to sedate the law makers that objected to M$ activision acquisition.
Going to add that Epic Games blaming engineering headcount is a BS measure to distract from it too. They just got done suing Google. They absolutely want every part of the bottom line they can grab. Many companies have cut/are cutting programming staff to hedge bets they will be fully replaced if not mostly replaced in 5-10 years.
I mean that is what I pay EFF to lobby for; I'm sure they're working on it.
I think its sorta inverse: we need a computer programming language made for AIs to interface with, along with CI/CD it can use.
oh I thought MSFT already owned them. I guess not.
