Im sceptic none the less- usually buying into enterprise software, they try to lock there customers into a walled garden, where they are the sole provider of upgrades, new software and tailored products.

I have yet to see the enterprise software, that takes the step back like steam did and provides a plattform for cutomers to trade sofware additions.




I think this comment is misleading; in many situation i believe you can upgrade to upstream if you want, simply you lose RH tech support.

In steam case they are not the one taking the blame when a game crashes (they take a image damage if they have too many unplayable games and they are getting criticism for it as of now for various reason) but the developer is expected to produce a game working on all platform it support as-is
