    1. the difference here is that Valve doesn’t have to appease to the shareholders and chase perpetually increasing profit

      I just trust Valve more because they are a private company. I don’t trust those others because the one they want to please is the shareholder, not me the consumer

    3. I gotta say it’s genuinely so funny to see threads like

      >every billionaire is a psychopathic monster who should personally hand every single dollar bill to every other person on earth and then spontaneously combust

      with 200 comments replying to it saying “hell yeah preach,” and then that one guy

      >ummmm except gabe

      I know people like to laugh at Valve simps because yeah, the multi-billion dollar company doesn’t care about you. That’s not wrong.

      But I swear these same people just completely ignore WHY Valve gets this special treatment for the sake of arguing.

      The difference between a publicly traded company and a privately owned one has already been pointed out.

      I’d like to add one more thing: Other than the tech-lords above, Gaben isn’t a neo-feudalist and doesn’t hate humans. He’s not actively working on dismantling democracy.

    6. I like steam as much as the next guy but anyone else hate these “fanboy” memes

    7. Time and time again valve has proven to be there for the gamers, and not against them.
