Wow, nice job putting things in quotes I never said.
"I have a deep seated need to make you follow my specific beliefs otherwise you are the problem and I must demean you online."
See, I can do it too. Grow up.
Honestly, Fight for demolishing Amazon, google, apple, Nvidia, fascist politics, literally any car company, Boeing, big oil, big pharma, etc etc. They are all much much bigger, and much much more evil than. anything valve could possibly do. thats the real fight.
The systemic issue you are talking about is far higher than any company or conglomerate. You cannot blame them for playing the game they've been given.
The system itself needs changed, until such a day I will continue to use the products and services that do not ruin my bank or values. Therefore I will continue to use steam, they are not harming me, I am no fucking victim.
The world you desire won't come to pass by crying online and telling others how to feel. Go be the change you want and protest, send mail to government officials, fuck it throw some tomato sauce in some paintings, do whatever you have to. But do not, under any circumstance think I'm going to change my mind on a service that I not only use, but like and most generally would endorse. If you want to change minds, you need a compelling argument.
You are so lost in the sauce. We're talking about a company that hosts a video game sales platform, if I feel like they are fucking me, I can go elsewhere, there's epic, gog, ubishit, ea, xbox, itch, I don't have to go to steam. I choose to.
If they aren't fucking me, let them make as much as they want. There are far, FAR bigger fish to fry.
Hot take: if they aren't hurting me or others, money wise or not, I don't care if they have majority market share. In this case it makes sense, they treat their customers right and don't bully the market.
Steam? Really out of all these, the the one that treats it's customers properly and gives them any and all tools needed to make a proper purchase decision with many big sales consistently. Great call
Looks like this one breaks the rules. Only the big button works.
