Hi, I'm the founder.
While what you're saying isn't impossible, it's unlikely. In the event it did happen, Bazzite is a fork, a signing key, and a couple forked Fedora Copr repos away from being made completely in someone else's control.

Note that this was in a change proposal which was rescinded without a vote by it's proposer.

Now, whenever you would've actually shut down the project is a different story, but your messaging was very clear.
The messaging was very clear that the upstream change would make Bazzite almost untenable.
It was a criticism of Fedora, not a threat to quit.
However, this comment chain was of how vulnerable non commercial projects like it are to outside factors making causing exactly this issue, making further maintenance on the project infeasible... Consequently ending it, effectively.
There is no blame in play here. haunter merely quoted this as a reason for why theyre worried about it longevity - and considering there was a discussion about an upstream change which would've realized his worry... It seems not at all misrepresented?
Fwiw, I personally don't share the same worry as haunter, because I don't see the chosen distribution nor OS as a significant investment. I feel comfortable switching things around occasionally
I don’t interpret “an upstream change would make this project impossible to maintain” as a “threat”.
About their interpretation (threat or not threat) we can argue.
If nothing else, the only way these problems ever get solved is by bringing them up, surfacing the issues and providing an impetus to get them solved.
Did you mean diktat?
It's an important question to ask.
How do you even discover the good games that are worth being played on Android?
I'm aware of https://nobsgames.stavros.io/ , but I'm afraid it might not be extremely up-to-date
And also, I think that Google Play has a much bigger problem than Steam, when it comes to old games being made unavailable (think EA's zzSunset stuff)
Both Microsoft and Sony AAA titles, most third parties publish there and most indie games release there first. Steam's library is unparalleled in the industry, the only thing it's truly missing is Nintendo's games.
I did voice that concern in some Bazzite-related spaces before and it felt like it got brushed off with a weird undertone.
