    Yes, but before Valve you had a lot more choice, because you could buy things in actual shops. I didn’t have to wait until the handful of predetermined “sale weeks” a year to actually get games at budget prices.

    And it’s not just Valve, but if they ever go public or bust, you’ll all wonder how you were ever fooled for so long.

      they aren’t going public or bust. there is no incentive for them to go public and they are sitting on a dragon hoard of cash with relatively few employees who are all multi millionaires. they’re the most successful private company there is, so there’s no reason why anyone there would want to change things just to get shareholder money. they don’t need shareholder money.
