Right, because managing, securing, updating, and operating steam is all black magic that costs valve nothing.

Listen, they need that revenue for their R&D for the steam deck 2 and steam machines and shit. Fuck off ya hoser, eh?

Hey, we don't talk about that here! Gaben is wholesome and even though he is a billionaire who owns a yacht company funded by lootboxes, he's one of the good ones!

I'm no Epic Games fan, but this is an overcorrection. Valve makes money hand over fist and they aren't making those products simply out of passion. They're doing it to make even more money. The company are pioneers in micro transactions and loot boxes. The other large game companies (and especially alternative storefronts) have just been so shit that gamers feel a weird attachment to this company.
