    No greedy shareholders, yet Valve pioneered the lootbox and micro transactions that G*mers complain about with other companies.

    A company doesn’t need to be public to be greedy. And using that as the sole distinction between “good and bad” companies is an incredibly sheltered take.

      Pokémon and MTG were selling loot boxes (card packs) decades before steam even existed.

      If we want to ban lootboxes I’m all for it, but it’s not Steams fault this un healthy thing people do for fun is legal and allowed to target children.
