    Nice! A video game company listened to their consumers for once. Or at least listened to their spending habits. Hopefully more follow suit

      Being privately owned by a person who is a video game enthusiast really helps. Gabe already has ‘fuck you’ money and just wants to make video games and gadgets (and, apparently, deep sea submarines!).

      If Valve is ever sold it’ll go the route of every other publicly traded company.

      “Spending habits”, exactly! They probably have other monetisation strategies lined up already. Hopefully it’s something also better for the users… (Can’t read the details right now, so I don’t know if that was mentioned)
