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.......

more that why would valve want to remove thousands of titles they're making money on. Doesn't matter how big or small the company is, public or private.

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

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.

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.

So, what has valve done to break your trust?

Man I love Valve, but they should really be more transparent, which includes making annual reports public
