I understand that you aren't interested in responding, the only point I felt I wanted to clarify my own thinking about "is it justified just because they have the same service as any big company has?"

I would happily and readily say that I don't know of any other single *gaming company that provides the same amount of services to the general population and to, if we follow the tenets of OSS, humanity as a whole. They provide code and money to KDE, Arch, the Linux kernel, they work directly with AMD on Linux drivers, they are working on accelerating what I believe are common-sense additions to Wayland, they've pushed VR on PC from being a futuristic wishlist item to having a section dedicated to games for their headsets and the countless others (including Metas, whom they also directly support) on their store and helping maintain and develop the open source frameworks needed to make them.

In my mind, Steam the storefront is how Valve does everything else that they're doing, and I haven't heard of anything that they do that I find reasonably objectable. I mean, maybe the TF2 stuff could count against them, and also given that there are 17 year old people who weren't alive when that game came out any amount of work they keep putting into it is just wild from my perspective.
