You can hate Valve/Steam all you want of course but I would ask you all to remember that Steam is one of the only platforms that has completely rejected the introduction of AI slop in its entire UX (so far). No slop button, no chatbot dialogue that you can't switch off, none of that. In my daily computer experrience, that's pretty magical.
Steam and Hexbear are the only sites that don't have that crap (off the top of my head), and I respect ol' Gabe for that. Would have been sooo easy to announce some AI crap bolted onto the UI but they didn't.
This isn't relevant. You can love a company for the good they did and point out the bullshit.
I'm usually on Valve's side and think the "haters" are obnoxious, but this is the same shit they do. ("oh yeah, Epic may be horribly anticonsumer in most ways, but 12% cut guys! Valve with 30% is bad!")
