Eh, I would hardly call Valve trustworthy or the good guy

I would say don't worship multi billion dollar companies.

Especially ones that only give you things you should have always had, like refunds, after being forced to by state lawsuits to force them into compliance with the law.

I miss the days when you actually owned your fucking games and could loan them to friends or sell them to get something else.

They aren't the 'good guy' but they are one of the few tech companies left that try to make money by selling a product people want to buy. Basically everyone else is just trying to screw people over or sell out to investors as soon as they can.

That's not good, but it's the way people understand and think businesses should be run, even though most modern companies no longer work that way.
