    Wow, you’re starting to get it, maybe we should start doing something about it instead of defending those who profit, right?

        Or breaking them or nationalization so profit goes to everyone instead of a single guy.

          And you want to start with Valve, which is one of the smaller game companies and is one of the few players not guilty of buying up their competition, instead of Sony, Microsoft, other Big Tech players, media conglomerates like Disney, ISPs like Comcast or AT&T, or meat distributors who are price fixing algorithmicly?

          Why even buy games period? Why risk giving money to any of them since things that become popular risk making the people selling them to become wealthy? Not like indies are immune to it looking at Minecraft becoming too popular that too many people wanted to buy it making one person then a corporation wealthy, so why not just not buy period to prevent the issue from even becoming a possibility?

          The best solution is prevention. Don’t buy anything.

      If there was no method by which people could ever profit from a system like Steam, why bother building it?

        There’s a difference between making profit and becoming one of the richest person in the world, in the second case it means you clearly made too much profit by selling for a higher price than required.
