I’m usually totally against huge corporations on principle, but there’s definitely one that I can’t criticise and maybe even like, Even though I don’t buy any of their products.

    What does “free pass” mean? None, I guess. I like the companies I do because they don’t cross certain lines, why would I then let them cross those lines without adjusting my view of them?

    People are saying Valve, and Valve is positioned as THE primary company gamers should never give a “free pass” to (again, whatever that means). I’m not going to allow valve to start running KLA on my machine, I love Proton but the best part are the community forks, I would much rather have an open alternative/competitor to the steam launcher and storefront. The more power valve has, the more I want to see checks on their power, not capitulation from their customer base.

    There is no such thing as a free pass to a corporation. All forms of competition are always welcome and encouraged.
