Another Valve dicksucking thread?

Valve is anti-competition and monoplistic:

Valve refused to give refunds until forced:

https://www.smh.com.au/business/companies/video-games-website-steam-fined-3-million-for-refusing-refunds-20161223-gthdux.html

Worst of all, it's a DRM service and encourages more DRM on top of it's own:
