Well I suppose at least it's subject matter related, unlike when he usually opens his mouth.

Funny thing is I don't support Valve or Tim Sweeney. While by American standards, Valve are angels, that is a very low standard. Sweeney is your stereotypical American corporate degenerate:

But honestly Valve is no better. Europe (and other countries/regions) should either force Valve to have to de facto white label their store for Europe (where they are a junior partner and hold minimal control) or kick them out. And I am not saying there can't be collaboration on common goals; e.g. investing into Linux support and open platforms, but you can't have Americans in charge of major platforms. That ship has sailed.

There are many massive issues with Valve:

• They made a huge contribution to the rise of lootbox gambling schemes
• They initially attempted a fraudulent scheme on local consumer laws on refunds
• For most of Steam's life their TOS had mandatory arbitration requirements which is a local corruption scheme that is not too different from Soviet kangaroo courts. In their defence they did add that "as far as your country’s laws permit".

I will admit that the overall logic of the case doesn't make sense.

Losers are gonna rage.

Valve please cut epic loose.

I wish I didn't know things about Tim, and could just see him as the guy who gave CliffyB his start, wrote ZZT and Jill of the Jungle, and is at war against Valve.

More like, steam is the only major store.
