You do not trust any company. You trust your friends, your partner, your children.

A company is about making money, if fucking you over gets them money, they'll do it unless forced not to.

Not to disagree with you, but I would say Valve has a good track record of specifically not trying to fuck people over and they tend to make high quality games. But that can always change so it is good to always keep that in mind.

I agree. Keep in mind anything I post I may or may not agree with, and I am always willing to change my mind with feedback I get from here. I post things here because I am interested in listening to discussion.

I'd pick Valve over most game companies, but they are still a company, and I predict Valve will become worse over time unless they are bought or go under as the tendencies of capitalism lead toward greater monopolization. I have accepted that everything that I like and was produced in a capitalist system will be rotten and spoiled eventually.
