    I am not a Valve fanboy.

    They are only sort of OK when viewed in comparison to other American technology oligarch groups. I even hesitate to use the term “OK” in this context.

      Valve is the best gaming company, who has a storefront (and even consoles / systems to sell). All other suck in comparison and I think Valve is good for the entire gaming industry and the gamers.

            Your first comment sounds like you’re mocking people: it reads as if you’re parroting a valve fanboy who thinks Gabe is awesome simply because they’ve been brainwashed to think that and not because of valid reasons.

              A rare inverse example of Poe’s law in action - a statement so lacking in nuance that everyone is assuming it to be sarcastic.

              This is really weird, I read this comment chain a month ago I feel like. But it was posted today?

      Indeed. Even stuff like their casino side business with CS skins seems to be often downplayed.

        It’s funny because originally I didn’t understand how it was different and when it was explained to me in a factual way I did understand and changed my view and people really don’t like that.
