Unity was changing the rules after they were already set in place. Valve has never done such a move.

Imagine though if steam suddenly went to a flat fee per install instead of charging the 30% of the sale on their platform.

They would rightly be raked over the coals. But they won't make such a dumb fucking move because it's a dumb fucking move.

I'm not one for Corpos but as far as attacking them goes valve is certainly near the bottom of the list.
