    Uh…

    Ok.

    So… I consider myself to generally quite the Valve fanboy, but I try to base that as much on reality as I can.

    … Video games are less important than the concept of an impartial, fair and just legal system.

    Nobody with a life spent in law knows dick about how Valve being basically the only major gaming company that isn’t publically traded and doesn’t have a bunch of investors and stock holders to answer to means that it functionally is the least evil major gaming company.

    (Beyond Valve’s lawyers, I guess.)

    I get where you are coming from, but you’re acting like everyone cares about and values Valve as much as you do.

    You’re not wrong to see them as the best overall corporate force for good in gaming… but that you think any entity that tries to broadly do good, conflicting with another… is infighting?

    No, these are completely different groups of people, who focus on completely different realms… its very strange to me, that you see the world in a way where its all so conflated.

    …and Valve can’t be grey and imperfect and also paragons at the same time. Paragon literally means without flaws.

    Let me offer a … slightly different way of looking at it:

    …Valve’s the flawed hero gamers deserve, but not the one they need to prioritize right now. So, let the heros hunt them, because Valve can take it.
