    I love how Valve’s strategy is basically just ‘don’t piss off the customers and occasionally do something super fucking cool’, while everyone else in the space seems to be cutting off their nose to spite their face

      Valve also gutted their LGBTQIA+ content a few months back. And they have had a MASSIVE nazi infestation basically since they set up message boards because Gabe Newell is infamously libertarian.

      So… chill a bit with the glazing. They are better in a lot of ways but they are not our friends.

      don’t piss off the customers

      Unless it’s their UI, they love to do pointless changes nowadays. On top of the stuff mentioned by the other replie

        any and all UI changes will make people angry

        steam has had so few of them compared to idk youtube that, imo it’s fine even if it’s kinda pointless
