There's "profit-driven" and "seeking exclusively the profits of the next quarter". While capitalism has a lot of downsides in the long run, the vast majority of bullshit people get outraged about is due to publicly traded companies being organized in such a way that their CEOs and shareholders sacrifice all sustainability and instead try to loot your kitchen.

Whatever Steam policies you think are bullshit right now (and I can name a couple more, too), they're not too much in comparison to what they'd be under more typical management.

How is it walled garden when you can add any non-steam game to your library?

Since it's not publicly owned it doesn't have to focus on quarterly profits.

If it gets sold to Microsoft they're probably going to start stripping it down to please investors and get rid banking on how most people will be too lazy to leave it. We've seen the same thing happen with reddit and twitter. I'm pretty sure enshittification is inevitable.

Capitalism bad. Support Epic Games instead. /s
