    While I’ll always be wary of corporations, Valve seems to be maintaining an overall good relationship with the FOSS community (for the time being).

      they aren’t publicly traded so that’s probably part of the reason.

        I’d bet dollars to donuts that’s exactly the reason. And the minute they start goin public, the enshittification will occur.

            Enjoy it while it lasts. Capitalism will definitely suck out all joy out of life eventually but we can still have a little bit of fun here on the verge.

          I mean, the second someone is a billionaire from the business they run, the enshitifaction has begun because that money comes from somewhere.

            Gabe has been a billionaire a while now. Like $9.5B net worth with a yacht collection.

                  If they can afford to do all of that while also making the boss a billionaire then they could have afforded to do all of that while also saving you money and only a single person would have went with less money in their pockets.

                    the only game I have that has cards are the portal series, the others I haven’t experienced because I don’t play with games that have them. Are hats and loot boxes Valve’s fault, though?
