Hearing those arguments for how many years now? Right …
The day Gabe is bo longer there things may get ugly, may.
But, Valve is not publicly traded, or has to cater to shareholders in any way. That is the reason they are still who they are.

They run a good service platform and aren’t as greedy as they could be, but they’re still not safe.
Use them, but no fangirling. They’re a business.

I’d be completely in agreement of what you are saying if it wasn’t for the fact that there are so many people acting like Steam is the worst platform in existence every time they get brought up. People are awfully quick to suck Tim Sweeney off for only charging 12% and fill up the comments with whatever the opposite of “fangirling” is.

Yeah, that’s going too far, but I understand the reaction to fanning over Valve.
There are a bazillion examples of why you should use, not trust, big businesses over centuries. They are transactions, not people. And if people look at the world in 2026 and somehow don’t see that, I honestly don’t know what to tell them.
