I am genuinely confused to learn what you think a TV station does.
And we've gotten to the part where we learn that you somehow have an extremely hard opinion about a subject you don't care at all about and have very little awareness of.
Which is fine, but it'd save the rest of us a lot of time if you translated that lack of interest and awareness into something other than aggressively expressing a preference, because this was both time consuming and pointless.
I'm not going to continue a discussion where you just constantly deflect. So have a good day.
I haven't "deflected" anything. Pointing out things you like about Valve is entirely irrelevant to whether or not they hold a dominant position on the market. "I really like Halo" is not a counterargument to "Microsoft's dominance in the desktop OS space needs regulatory intervention". Those things are unrelated.
But hey, nobody forces you to talk to me. In fact, given what you've said in this conversation I'm postively puzzled about why you are talking about this, beyond the fact that you hang out in online spaces where "good guy Valve make Linux good" is a simplistic trope to build a sense of parasocial belonging around.
