Valve will be just as Capitalist when it ends. If you aren't okay with Capitalism for video games, or see it as a necessary evil while we live under Capitalism, you need to consume FOSS games and buy straight from indie devs, essentially.

There’s room to accept the realities of the world we live in and still not support a company at their worst. Things don’t have to be either or.

My point is that this isn't Valve "at their worst," it's the exact same Valve. Valve has always been Capitalist, and always has functioned in a Capitalist manner. Valve taking a brand new stance, like "fuck trans people," would be Valve at their worst.

Basically, there's no difference in how much Valve supports Capitalism between last week and now, but if Valve changed their stance for the worse then that would be cause for a shift in consumer sentiment.

You are missing my point. Have a good day, friend.

Piracy also works quite well. But my stance isn't capitalism bad (it is bad though) but rather that I don't want to support marketing that is politicised.
