I don't have a massive amount of love for Valve (I like physical copies of my games, damn you), but patent trolls can go fuck themselves with a rusty pickaxe.
Especially over a patent as nebulous as this:
"System and method for storing broadcast content in a cloud-based computing environment"
Motherfucker, that's called a "file".
I whole heartedly agree, but I have a bit of love for Vavle because of the work they have put in regarding gaming on Linux.
That literally covers all streaming platforms. Go after Netflix lol good luck. Also YouTube? Also basically the fucking internet? Like what the fuck?
