    I still don’t get why people go to bat for valve, despite all the anti consumer shit they regularly do.

      They are anti-developer (though dev opinions differ), but most people aren’t affected by the anti-consumer stuff. The only instances I know are censorship with niche visual novels and case gambling (and things like crashing CSGO economy sound like good things in that regard), unless there’s more I don’t know.

      They enabled my switch to Linux and out of Microsoft’s ecosystem with their investments and technology.

      I’d reckon that there are few Valve loyalists, but rather a whole bunch of people grateful for their efforts.
