Call me a shill, but Valve's actions indicate that they care about the money that comes from improving a product or service. That differentiates them from many publicly traded companies that care about money at the expense of the quality of their own products and services.

Both things can be true. They make good products while also making millions from kids gambling.

You are correct, though it bears stating that they make millions from kids gambling and they make billions for their software distribution platform, as one indicator of Valve's priorities as a for-profit company.
