they popularized gambling mechanics

Probably their biggest sin. Gab's mega-yacht was paid for with neurodivergent teenagers sucked into anime-themed slot machines.

That's before you get into how modern online gaming has become this nightmare of bigotry and misogyny. Not a Valve specific problem, but one they've turned a blind eye to in the name of laissez-faire business.

need i remind you, in the late 2000s/early 2010s, nintendo was the good guy.

Well... tap the brakes there. Nintendo had a very different business model, but their Disney-eque sadistic defense of IP was its own kind of problem.
