Compared to ubisoft, ea, amazon, basically every big developer the ultra evil crimes against humanity valve is doing are minor. Thanks to valve "mandatory, evil forced upon lootboxes" I've been able to buy a few free full priced games just by playing cs and tf2 and not opening any of them. Its not valves fault other companies do it worse and there are very few games with lootboxes that are not yearly rerelease scams. Sure valve takes a big cut out of developers but as a developer it is the cost of doing business. They provide a lot of opportunities and take off a lot of the headache as well. They also single handedly screwed over MS by making linux viable for the regular gamer, popularized vr only for zuck to kill it, have cloud saves, are pioneering less wasteful, less power consuming arm devices for gamers, are advocating for right to repair with all their hardware. They are almost european.
