Do you know of any other company that racks in as much cash and gets defended this hard. All I’m seeing is people defending an other billionaire cunt just because they use his product.
Would you say tell me to shut up if I was denouncing Elon Musk or Bezos? You can’t be anti-capitalism and pro-Steam. The moment you defend a billionaire, you are part of the problem.
