I did not realize they were trying to compete in the first place.

It's weird that a corporation is able to and continues to offer a good product at a reasonable price, do so in a way that is convenient for the customer, and somehow hasn't enshitified yet.

People like valve because valve earned that trust.

To add to that, if valve starts going in a direction I don't like, I may cut ties with them. Gabe and Valve haven't earned undying loyalty. They have earned the benefit of the doubt for now. We should be skeptical of anyone that is profit driven, but there isn't anything wrong with enjoying moments where their actions seem to align with our interests.
