You can make that argument, sure. You could also make the other argument, that their services are being associated with this content by proxy, at minimum.
I don't agree with them. I'm just pointing out what their argument is.
I also agree Valve should make an alternative. They've got the resources and the reach to do it. They could probably even get other companies to use it and take a percentage of each transaction for another revenue stream. As it is, they're losing a percentage to these companies, and now they're fucking with their business too. They should be doing everything they can to get away from them.
