    Steam is the very, very rare case of a major company that is both not beholden to shareholders, and has a pretty good guy at the helm.

      I simply do not understand the sentiment that not being a total bastard is something celebrated and not expected or required.

      And while many like our Steam benevolent (almost) monopoly, I do wonder how would the market look like if we had 20 competing companies that cannot gain more than 5% of the market share. Can you imagine the competition between them and how would that benefit us, the consumer?
