Uh huh 2ร๐
That's why I used the word "decent" instead of something like "good".
Valve (along with Itch.io) also removed several LGBTQ2S+ games recently due to some complaints from payment processors, and I think that's terrible. (your first link is not working at the moment, so maybe that was mentioned there?) GoG, on the other hand, released some of those removed games for free.
Valve is absolutely not perfect and they have done other bad things before, but when you're competing with Epic, or EA Origin, or whatever Ubisoft calls their shit, it's easy to see why they dominate the market. GoG is probably the only other company that also behaves "decently", has a good product, and is in a similar space with Steam.
Yeah man you hit it right on the head. None of these companies can be good because by nature they can't. Decent companies can exist and they recognize customers as who are important.
Customers want a lot. Valve delivers a lot of what they want, gas lights some (I just assume), and the ones who are fucked are few comparatively speaking.
