Well let me think some reasons to actually support Valve:

  • Supports open source
  • Doesn't try to fuck up their customer base
  • Produces nonrestrictive hardware
  • Invents things to make gaming better
  • Their own games actually optimized and work on older hardware
  • Optimizes the gaming experience and helps 3rd party developers to be successful (literally opposite of Nintendo)
  • Customer support actually work
  • Non invasive opt in data collection / telemetry to make products better
  • Filters away the adware customer is product bs
  • Supports older hardware by updating / upgrading drivers that original manifacturer doesn't anymore (less evaste, more opportunities to game)
  • Developed SteamOS (Linux distribution) to keep Microsoft from vendor locking gaming

    If you add 2 spaces before using a line break markdown will preserve your formatting. Alternatively, if you add a space after the hyphen you can make a bullet list which will also keep your line breaks.
