Valve has done some good things for the game industry: they encouraged modifications, and made some good games.

However, I feel as if the gaming community praises Valve too much.

  • The gaming community praises Valve’s monopoly on game distribution services.

That’s about it though.

    It sure does. There’s a difference between enjoying a product (i.e. Half Life, Steam Deck) and corporate bootlicking and I think a lot of Valve’s fans can’t tell the difference.

    Example: Literally any criticism of the Steam Deck is met with all kinds of rabid fanboys angrily shutting down points.
