I like valve well enough for what they are. They've done some horrific shit, don't get me wrong, they pretty much invented lootboxes. but generally speaking, they're pretty good for the overall gaming landscape, which is impressive when their main competitors are complete freaks like ea, ubisoft, microsoft, and now epic. like, if epic or microsoft got a functional monopoly on pc gaming every game would cost like 3x as much as it does now, you'd be paying a subscription for the privilege of buying games on their store, and there would be absolutely NO innovation to make the gaming landscape better. using linux would be illegal.
valve has had a functional monopoly in this space for like 20 years and they really haven't made life worse for their users so far
Really, the greater dig against them is that they have stuck with loot boxes well past the point where the harm from them could be denied.
