Yeah. I was around in the games industry way back when the big publishers had a total stranglehold on the whole arena, and Steam was this magic thing that enabled non-AAA games to actually break in in a big way and achieve sales above the double digits, and on top of that I generally like Valve’s games. I was sort of wondering if this is a “live long enough to see yourself become the villain” type of thing, where my good feelings towards Valve aren’t warranted anymore in the present day.
But, judging by what I saw when I grabbed one of this person’s assertions at random and held it up to the light to examine in it detail for objective truth, I don’t think it’s based on a reasoned and objective basis. What it is based on, I have no idea.
