We really love saying companies aren't your friend until someone specifies that also applies to companies you're a fan of and think are super cool

Valve may be much less anti consumer than other companies (and I appreciate their contributions to linux), but they are a company, and what are companies? Not your friend

They absolutely still have issues, they are not without skeletons in the closet 😅

    Valve is a good company in that they make an enormous amount of money running steam and they use that money to fund generally positive things. That's about as good as you can hope tbh

    That's pretty much definition of textbook capitalism: they benefit from doing something that benefits others too.

    Too bad this is a rare case in the real world capitalism

    It's more common than you think, like Apple has done a great job integrating privacy and security features into their OS both because they don't really stand to gain from user data collection the same way Google does, its a good selling point, it helps them protect their app store revenue streams etc. nd also because they actually care about it.

    OTOH they are agreesively anti right to repair

    Capitalism is an economic system where private individuals or businesses own capital goods, and the free market controls the production of goods and services.

    Capitalism is a system of economic production

    Private property promotes efficiency by giving the owner of resources an incentive to maximize the value of their property

    A capitalist earns the highest profit by utilizing capital goods, such as machinery and tools, most efficiently while producing the highest-value goods or services.
