Hello my name is Daniel Hanrahan and I am proud to announce that my free and open source video games now have versions written in scratch so anyone can clearly understand how my games work. Link to games: https://daniel-hanrahan-tools-and-games.github.io/ , also I have to ask and I know it is like comparing apples to oranges here, do you think I am providing a good service better than valve provides a good service for their games and other people's games.

Neat. Please forgive my ignorance, but what is scratch?

As for your valve question can you rephrase your question another way and provide details? From skimming your website I'm unsure of where the comparison should begin (perhaps I am unaware of all the things valve offers).

Scratch is a visual programming language that is intended to be easy to learn for younger people.

You can read more about the language on Wikipedia here and you can play around with the language here.

Look at what steam offers when you get games on its store for example, play time, achievements and even good prices, not to mention the services with s&box and the non commercial use of the team fortress 2 source code and there might be more services valve provides but those are the services I can think of now.
