    Gaben is a billionaire, Valve isn’t content with the amount of money they make, they just have good PR

      Given the fact that they basically make infinite money so long as they don’t fuck it up id say they are very much content. They have a golden goose why would they slaughter it.

          Compared to damned near every company they may as well be, seriously imagine if fucking EA owned Steam. Ill take the neutral evil which just wants my money and giving me a decent product over the one actively trying to kick me in the balls as well.

            They just have good PR, loot boxes, gambling, it’s stuff that Valve also makes profit off of.

            We’re getting ripped off and some of us, like you, are saying that’s ok.

              Nobody is forcing you to pay for the loot boxes, hell nobody is forcing you to play the games with them. You could play literally nothing but Rimworld, Baldurs Gate 3, and Crusader Kings 3 without ever looking at their live service shit. Regardless even on that front Valve is still better than most.

              Also I don’t see profits off of gambling as immoral, I see it as stupid and weak willed by those who participate but not immoral.

                I guess that’s one way to not feel bad about companies praying on kids and people with addiction issues 🤷

                And now I’m sending you off to the blocklist because I don’t need people like you in my life, buhbye!
