There were 21,503 products released on Amazon last year. How the hell is a consumer supposed tk make informed purchasing decisions with all that? Amazon is a discovery platform which connects a product with the individuals most likely to buy that product.
The Amazon store is pretty bad at any kind of product discovery or helping me make informed decisions. There’s way too much junk there, reviews are mostly useless, and there’s no guarantee of actually receiving the product as advertised.
I see the point you’re trying to make but that is a false equivalence for a lot of reasons. One of the biggest being that Amazon is well known to treat their workforce like crap and profit at their expense. Valve does not do that. On top of that Amazon dominated the market by illegally keeping prices lower than everyone else using backroom deals, using the Amazon basics label to undercut competition (a lot of times by making deals with the factories making those products,) and buying up competition.
Valve on the other hand just made the best service and keeps releasing features that actually help consumers and developers. I’m not saying they’re like some angelic company that has done no wrong, but they certainly are nowhere near the levels of Amazon, Microsoft, Epic, etc.

I’ll be a lot more open to comparing Valve with Amazon when I hear reports of Valve employees pissing in bottles

“false equivalence” Gives no logical reason why
I literally gave multiple reasons right after that. Did you just stop reading after those 2 words?
