Hmm, who do I trust? The privately owned video game company that has quietly built a massive and effective game distribution platform or the hyper capitalist parasitic payments processor?

Hmmm.......

    Plus, Valve is extremely trusted by the community and is known to be pro-consumer

    I can trust a privately owned company because then I’d be giving my trust to a person.

    I will never trust a publicly traded company because then I’d be trusting a whimsical and sociopathic collective that only cares about margins and unrealistic growth while trampling anything and everything on its path.
