I can still support the companies that support me and what I care. And Steam is the only gaming company that does that. I would rather buy and play on Steam than on any other platform. No one says its a perfect place. Doing profit for the company is what I want them to do, otherwise I wouldn't trust the company exist in the future. And compared to most other gaming companies, Valve is still a private company that does not need to bend its knees for investors. They are very much interested into surviving long term with happy customers. And they support Open Source and Linux. These are very important values to me.
They will bend their knees for payment processors and their government, however.
That is an indirect issue. These companies are not in charge of Valve and do not business decisions for Steam.
Show me someone who's perfect and I show you a liar.
yes, not idolizing them was my point
