I don't have a massive amount of love for Valve (I like physical copies of my games, damn you), but patent trolls can go fuck themselves with a rusty pickaxe.
Especially over a patent as nebulous as this:
"System and method for storing broadcast content in a cloud-based computing environment"
Motherfucker, that's called a "file".
That literally covers all streaming platforms. Go after Netflix lol good luck. Also YouTube? Also basically the fucking internet? Like what the fuck?
I whole heartedly agree, but I have a bit of love for Vavle because of the work they have put in regarding gaming on Linux.
