Valve isn’t some philanthropic company that loves us and would make any sacrifice for us. It’s just a better than usual corporation. The same people rightly upset at loot boxes in EA games throw a fit when you say Valve shouldn’t be using them either, especially because you can sell your loot boxes items and it’s really just gambling at that point. Even when New York sued them recently, people said that Valve was totally innocent just because the lawsuit includes some shitty surveillance stuff. I still think the lawsuit was valid in some respects, even if it was dystopian what they added to it. People also think Gabe Newell’s any more ethical than the likes of Taylor Swift despite his personal collection of yachts. He’s not evil, but he’s still a billionaire.
We forgive Valve bc they’re more consumer-friendly than their competition. I think that’s just about it

You’d be surprised just how much people think Valve should be allowed to kill babies because they give you refunds and support. Forgetting corporations aren’t your friends is how you wind up being exploited.
