I’ve had conversations with this person before, in my opinion many of the things they fault Valve for are… extreme nitpicking.
Also, IMO Corsair’s patents are BS and are drastically inhibiting accessibility controller availability. Their stranglehold on something as simple as buttons on the backside of a controller shouldn’t be lauded.
Yeah. I was around in the games industry way back when the big publishers had a total stranglehold on the whole arena, and Steam was this magic thing that enabled non-AAA games to actually break in in a big way and achieve sales above the double digits, and on top of that I generally like Valve’s games. I was sort of wondering if this is a “live long enough to see yourself become the villain” type of thing, where my good feelings towards Valve aren’t warranted anymore in the present day.
But, judging by what I saw when I grabbed one of this person’s assertions at random and held it up to the light to examine in it detail for objective truth, I don’t think it’s based on a reasoned and objective basis. What it is based on, I have no idea.
