If you look at Valve's Glassdoor reviews, you'll quickly realize that the "work wherever you like policy" is a lie. It's just another corporation that has a monopoly on selling games.
The interesting part, is that gamers often argue in favor of Valve's monopoly. This is because it's convenient to have all the games in one place, rather than having to cycle through multiple accounts and stores to play different games. It kind of defeats the liberal argument of competition is always better.
Oh no! Poor people will be able to eat the same food as rich people! The tragedy!
