Valve just keeps landing these announcements lately. Seem to be one of the last companies left in the gaming world that gives a shit.

Since they're privately owned, they can. Once a company goes public they're legally required to only care about short term profits and nothing else.

The commission they get for every single sale helps...

Hello Epic games. How's business?

[–] Swarfega@lemm.ee 1 points 11 months ago (1 children)

The thing is Steam has been around for a long time. I mean hell my account is 20 years old now. Steam wasn't always a store though, however, they were first to market as a digital games store.
