Is it being a Stan to recognize all of the so called “competition” is dog shit? You want more competition? Provide better alternatives, there are VERY FEW corp’s with the pro customer attitude history that Valve has
Valve hasn’t screwed us over yet, and that’s why I like them very much. Now. But neither did Google or Reddit, in the beginning. In fact, Reddit was a safe haven for people who left Digg after it became pay to win, and look at them now.
Thats fair, but also realistically, until Valve turns, if they do, they are the best we’re getting out of a corporation in the capitalist society we currently live in. And honestly, if Valve turns, I’ll just go back to pirating
Valve isn’t going to remove your purchases unless Valve goes bankrupt.
But make no mistake, they will do other anti-consumer and anti-competitor bullshit once Gabe leaves and the company becomes publicly traded.
Things like throttling your download speed unless you pay their subscription. Being forced to watch ads whenever you browse your library.
This is why we should NEVER put so much trust in a company that they can build up a monopoly, like all those Gabe stans are doing.
