You are the problem if you think a billion dollar corporation should steal game controllers, should not offer refunds, should locked games into locations and other criminal activity that can put you in jail.
All of those things sounds like conspiracy theory talk to me because none of what you said is strange.
There's no stealing a controller design and there never has been, they offer refunds in their exact terms which everyone knows and the locking games in locations (if true) is 100% controlled by the person who put the games on Steam.
They stole patient design:

You’re in the wrong, Valve is a criminal organization.
Every other organization is also a criminal organization, no one cares that they stole a patent and they have always been fair and square with their return times.
Stop dedicating your life to hating on Valve and looking at only negative stuff especially when it DOES NOT matter.
And now you've gone off the rails, I am nowhere near any of that and I'm not even American lol.
Lying won’t help you, you’re rejecting facts and you’re creating false narrative about Valve Corporation. You’re just another crazy person in love with Valve Corporation.
proceeds to USE ALL CAPS AT THE END OF THEIR SENTENCE TO SAY SOME WORTHLESS POPULIST BULLSHIT JUST LIKE TRUMP SUPPORTERS DO
