My point is that this isn't Valve "at their worst," it's the exact same Valve. Valve has always been Capitalist, and always has functioned in a Capitalist manner. Valve taking a brand new stance, like "fuck trans people," would be Valve at their worst.

Basically, there's no difference in how much Valve supports Capitalism between last week and now, but if Valve changed their stance for the worse then that would be cause for a shift in consumer sentiment.
