I can acknowlegde the fact that some indie games rise to fame on Steam without the flowery wording. Most are exclusive to Steam because of their quasi monopoly, so there is not really another place to go. But in the end, Steam can terminate or change their services. They are still a for-profit company under a dangerous government.

    I can still support the companies that support me and what I care. And Steam is the only gaming company that does that. I would rather buy and play on Steam than on any other platform. No one says its a perfect place. Doing profit for the company is what I want them to do, otherwise I wouldn't trust the company exist in the future. And compared to most other gaming companies, Valve is still a private company that does not need to bend its knees for investors. They are very much interested into surviving long term with happy customers. And they support Open Source and Linux. These are very important values to me.

    They will bend their knees for payment processors and their government, however.
