FR. If there's one thing I actually hate about Valve, it's that they were the ones to popularize some of the most predatory practices seen in gaming today.

Maybe, but I'd still rather buy from steam than any of the other stores right now. Steam at least makes an effort to look like they have your back.

That's why it's the only thing I can say I hate. Because it's the only shitty thing. They are, and have been, otherwise pretty pro-consumer.
