    Valve support has historically been pretty awesome. They even replaced an index controller nearly a year out of warranty. Granted their controllers have a shit switch and they break after a few hundred hours, but good on support for being bros.

            At least until the leader gets corrupted by the power if there is enough of it. Then they become not so benevolent

              Hence the use of the word “can” and not “are”

              Valve wouldn’t exist at it is if it was public and might not exist as it is if it wasn’t for Newell (and I say that as a person that’s very critical of Valve, they’re still very far from how bad they could be considering their position)

                I see, that’s valid then, and I agree that Valve isn’t some godsend charity, it just happens to work better than the rest for us buyers

        Gaben has ensures that he has 51% of the company so he can veto anything including a leadership change. He would need to sell or die.
