    “buy the album”?

    I think it’s so weird how mad it makes people that gamers appreciate getting fucked 90% less.

    Valve is somewhat beloved but it’s for three logical reasons:

    • They made the half-life games, which were outstanding in many ways
    • Steam became a better way to buy games than the competition
    • Linux gaming is in a 1000% better spot because they made Proton

    Yet, any praise or perceived defense of valve is seen as billionaire worship. It’s fucking not… It’s just recognition that a company can suck a lot less than others. It doesn’t mean people are brainwashed or will still defend valve even if they turned into another Epic or something.
