I occasionally see people say things like “Why did Valve do X” or “Why doesn’t Steam work like Y?” And while I think more and more of us are aware of the answers to those questions by this point, as Valve’s strategy with Steam becomes more clear over the years, it could still be worth saying out loud.

I figured I’d throw my two cents into why Steam is the way it is and why it will always work better for certain types of games than other types of games.

But if it plays up the "bribery and corruption" angle then it's pretty solidly aligned with GamerGate and consumer rights and all that. I'm not surprised, just... Sad.

Of course, judging by recent news it seems like the war against games journalists has been won, and now there will only be advice on which products to purchase, delivered by bias-free sponsored streamers and mega advertisers.
