I still don't get why people go to bat for valve, despite all the anti consumer shit they regularly do.
They are anti-developer (though dev opinions differ), but most people aren't affected by the anti-consumer stuff. The only instances I know are censorship with niche visual novels and case gambling (and things like crashing CSGO economy sound like good things in that regard), unless there's more I don't know.
Contrast this to Nintendo just saying throwing lawsuits everywhere, among other things.
They had to be forced into allowing refunds. They're pretty shit with dealing with hacked accounts. Their forced price parity rules effectively raise prices across the industry.
Other companies being worse doesn't make this one defacto good.
