If that works for you, great! I’m going to keep pirating games without demos though.

If you refund too often they will consider it “abuse” and stop letting you do it.

No. Demos are rare and games are expensive.

Donations work too.

I had a similar problem a while ago.

Do you have this error in your event viewer?

The solution for me was CPU replacement. AMD sent a new one pretty quickly though.

Glasses don’t correct this issue.

I have glasses. This isn’t something that they can correct for me. Glasses don’t fix the shape of your eyes. Maybe this can help explain what it’s like? It’s about conferences but it’s the same for anything with that colour scheme. The smaller the text, the worse it gets.

Dark mode is not good for everyone.

It’s not blue light. It’s blurriness caused by the white of the text bleeding into the black. Straining my eyes to read it causes headaches. I can use light mode things with no problems.

Steam skins don’t reskin most of the client anymore. I used to use a light skin similar to Metro when Steam still properly supported it.

That works for a browser but I would still need the client to install, uninstall, and manage game settings. Steam skins only work for a few areas of the client. Most of it will still be unreadable.

GOG because it’s more convenient and less ableist.

Steam’s colour scheme makes it difficult to read and causes eye strain and headaches for people with astigmatism, like me. The way the light text bleeds into the darkness surrounding it makes it difficult to read anything so I can’t be sure of the price that I’m paying without copy/pasting it into notepad or something. When I made a thread pointing this out years ago, when they disabled the old theme system, Valve’s mods banned me from the forum and deleted my thread.

I sent an email to Epic Games about the same problem in their store and got a response that could be summarized as “Don’t care, go fuck yourself.” so they are not a good option either. I don’t like gambling so I won’t use EA’s virtual casino, and I want to keep the games I buy so Ubisoft’s store is also not an option.

It’s GOG or piracy for me.

I need constant noise from something like a fan to sleep.
