I'm definitely not disagreeing with you here. I just want to add that Valve is also responsible for creating gambling addictions in children, earning $1 billion yearly because of the trading card system they so aggressively defend

​Whenever I have Steam on my computer, I just accept that I'm dealing with spyware and data collection

​I'm not going to defend or side with Valve here at all. I know who they are

    Thanks for bringing it up. It is important to have that context, as I know some video game enthusiasts can be sympathetic to Valve and fall into the "good guy Gabe" kind of mindset. When it's really another big capitalist entity. I'm sure there's some purposeful whitewashing going on, similar to how Bill Gates cleaned up his reputation after the earlier Microsoft stuff.
