True then; true now. People who asskiss Valve (and Gaben by extension) are victims of years of effective marketing. Valve is as greedy and duplicitous as any other corporation. You're just looking at it through rose colored glasses because it's the primary mechanism by which you access your hobby.
Exactly, its so wild how the gaming sheepherd got up in arms about NFTs and microtransactions when this shit existed for years in CS:GO, TF2 and Dota 2 and was 100% tollerated.
Also TF2 - the balls of this company to add new cases and cosmetics while the game was overrun with hackers and bots... my lord!
If you introduce microtransactions but they have zero bearing on the actual gameplay it is tolerable.
I don’t need to spend money on Dota to have a full experience of the game.
You guys act like there is a Linux God saint company making handheld PC and drm free games work that we could choose from
