Hmm, who do I trust? The privately owned video game company that has quietly built a massive and effective game distribution platform or the hyper capitalist parasitic payments processor?

Hmmm.......

Plus, Valve is extremely trusted by the community and is known to be pro-consumer

im not. ive degoogled pretty much completely, running grapheneos and Linux. dont call me a corpo pls.
it was just a comparison to other players in the industry, in comparison to which steam did a whole lot for the consumers.

I can trust a privately owned company because then I’d be giving my trust to a person.

I will never trust a publicly traded company because then I’d be trusting a whimsical and sociopathic collective that only cares about margins and unrealistic growth while trampling anything and everything on its path.

So, what has valve done to break your trust?
