They also had to get sued by multiple states before they started offering refunds in the US. Valve doesn't do anything that doesn't make them money. They just have a longer term view towards profit than a publicly traded company. That's what lemmy/reddit doesn't understand.

Yup, Valve isn't my friend, but there's a lot of overlap in my and their interests. So I support them, because they support me. They make a product I like, and actively work to make my platform of choice better.

They're as good as a friend, but unlike a friend, I'll drop them as soon as they stop providing value.
