Electronic Arts, Ubisoft, and Epic Games (as a developer or publisher) are the three videogame companies I have on my blacklist.

Fedora proposal to drop 32-bit support has been withdrawn

Anyone see the irony of this situation? Linux users have been enticing Windows users to start using Linux because Microsoft has the audacity to block users of older technology from using the most recent version of its desktop OS. Meanwhile, Linux distros are on the verge of doing the very same type of thing. You know, some folks would probably still prefer to use typewriters, carbon paper, and whiteout. Does that mean the rest us should keep that stuff around, just in case?
I think that the situation is the opposite. Windows doesn't kill anything, it keeps very old components for decades that makes the operating system extremely heavy and inefficient. By other hand, some Linux distros try to kill old components to only maintain modern and maintained components and to lighten the operating system.

Many people say that IBM is turning Linux into Windows, but are the nostalgics who try to transform Linux into Windows dragging tons of old components.

I'm relieved it was, too. Switched to Fedora like a year ago because I was fed of Ubuntu snap-nonsense, and I've been nothing but amazed with how well Fedora works.

While I agree with you on the poor timing and the overall bad idea, I hopefully can't really imagine that proposal would do any kind of reputation damage to Fedora though. It was the initiative of 3 people, and again, just a proposal.
I think that many people, because there is a hate campaign against Red Hat and IBM, will start to say tons of apocalyptic sentences. This is not the first time that a proposal is rejected and it will not be the last.

People forget when Ubuntu proposed the same thing some years ago.

In my case, as an orthodox Silverblue user, I supported the proposition, but most of people in Fedora use a monstrosity called Workstation.

Fedora Linux devs discuss dropping 32-bit packages - potentially bad news for Steam gamers

Flatpak Steam has a whole bunch of its own issues and is not supported by Valve, it's not a direct replacement. 
The RPM package is not supported either.
Valve made some non-official contributions to the Flatpak package and nothing for any other than the official Deb for Ubuntu and Steam client implemented in SteamOS.

The installer is in '.bin' format. NVIDIA against Linux standards again.

If this app requires to disable the immutability, it's just an atrocity.

The 8BitDo Ultimate 2 Wireless Controller is a top premium-feeling controller

I bought a GuliKit KK3 Pro in March and I'm very happy with it, although the firmware needs to be updated both controller and the dedicated dongle. However, the only thing you need to update the firmware is a file manager, so you can do the process from Linux without problems.

Yes, fwupd would be better, but the GuliKit method is IMO better than using Windows.
