The systemic issue you are talking about is far higher than any company or conglomerate. You cannot blame them for playing the game they've been given. The system itself needs changed, until such a day I will continue to use the products and services that do not ruin my bank or values. Therefore I will continue to use steam, they are not harming me, I am no fucking victim. The world you desire won't come to pass by crying online and telling others how to feel. Go be the change you want and protest, send mail to government officials, fuck it throw some tomato sauce in some paintings, do whatever you have to. But do not, under any circumstance think I'm going to change my mind on a service that I not only use, but like and most generally would endorse. If you want to change minds, you need a compelling argument.
ADHD rant over, thanks for your time.
"It's an issue but I don't consider myself a victim. I won't stop sending money to the people profiting from the system in place at my expense. Be the change your want to see."
Are you for real?
No one force Newell to be a billionaire, he owns the fucking company, he could decide to cut their margins to 20% tomorrow morning, he doesn't, he collects fucking yachts instead.
Wow, nice job putting things in quotes I never said.
"I have a deep seated need to make you follow my specific beliefs otherwise you are the problem and I must demean you online."
See, I can do it too. Grow up.
Honestly, Fight for demolishing Amazon, google, apple, Nvidia, fascist politics, literally any car company, Boeing, big oil, big pharma, etc etc. They are all much much bigger, and much much more evil than. anything valve could possibly do. thats the real fight.
