    Valve also gutted their LGBTQIA+ content a few months back. And they have had a MASSIVE nazi infestation basically since they set up message boards because Gabe Newell is infamously libertarian.

    So… chill a bit with the glazing. They are better in a lot of ways but they are not our friends.

              I don’t remember playing with real money doing any of that or international crime and extortion rings developing around them.

            I’d rather have control over my digital items than gambling protection that infringes on what can I do with them

              What items do you think that you have control over? You don’t own anything in your account and it can be taken away for any reason or for no reason at all.

      Gabe Newell is infamously libertarian.

      So libertarian he become a billionare thanks to a platform where you don’t own any of your games.
