Just because this level of cringey fanboying should never be tolerated, here is a hurtful fact: Valve has argued in court that they are a subscription service and you do not in fact own any game in your library. https://hothardware.com/news/valve-loses-french-court-battle

Yeah Valve is definitely not perfect, and yet even with that they might still be my favorite tech company (or at least one of for sure)
