• Valve has avoided many of the same anti-consumer moves as other tech and gaming giants, likely due to its smaller size, status as a non-public company, and the long-time leadership of Gabe Newell and other executives. Valve won’t stay that way forever—the company is not immune to the pressures of capitalism, and there are already examples of anti-consumer behavior.

    Valve is not immune to enshittification, and it has already happened on some level with minimal current Mac support, facilitating gambling through item trades, etc.

    • Valve doesn’t support Mac because Apple doesn’t support gaming. They’ve made it abundantly clear that they have no interest (outside of iOS) for decades.

      Speaking of shitty companies, Apple is top-tier shit, and no one should be buying their hardware anyway.
