Valve has a monopoly at being the only online gaming storefront that doesn't suck.

Yup, it's why I am willing to argue for them, at least until Gabe dies. He's proven to be far more fair and I know you wouldn't get that deal anywhere else. These days it really does seem like there a coordinated push to attack valve for not being scum like the rest of the industry these last couple of months.

It's because they actively fight for the consumer rather than the publishers.

It's funny though because valve has so much fucking money because they are not chasing next quarters arbitrary gains...

Valve is proof that if you don't try to screw over your customers somehow you end up with profits. Weird how that works, and instead of companies learning something from that we'll... they do what capitalism does....
