I know that is a terrible blow and it sucks. However in this corrupted age you have to admire that valve acknowledged its error where any of the main players would have just kept it quite.

Valve continues being the goat. The benefits of being a private corp with a service-minded CEO.

  yeah yeah, and if any other company had done this same thing everyone would be screaming about them just covering their ass and it doesnt change how they fucked over the dev and blah blah blah.
  
  but Valve always gets the free pass, and people always conveniently forget that all the pro-consumer things we have like refunds are the results of lawsuits brought on by states, or the threat of regulator intervention.
  
  Tired of this fanboy cultist shit that always gets formed around everything and anything.
  
  Valve doesnt care about you. its not gonna take you to prom. if it thought it could get away with it, it’d fuck you 10 ways from sunday.
  
  This isnt valve been the consumer champion , or the “goat”. its valve getting a head of a problem to control the narrative.

  Once gabe goes, it’s all over.
  
  Try not to become too dependent on the corporation.

    I dunno about that, I’ve heard Gabe already appointed a successor himself. And I doubt he would pick one that would undo his good work.

    The fun part about shitty people as they can be really good at pretending not to be shitty if it means they can be extra shitty down the line. Its a trope for a reason.

    Lenin warned everyone against Stalin and tried everything he could to push him away from power. Stalin still took its place
