Steam OS as a free downloadable installer does exist. The biggest argument you have against me is that they didn't have a refund policy until 11 years ago. A refund policy by the way, which is almost unheard of in a digital storefront. Sure, I read that article wrong And yes, I do believe all companies should be beholden to the law but this lawsuit right now is a targeted attack. I can't believe we're supporting weaponized law like this. They don't charge for their software like proton or their OS, and they always sell their hardware at a loss. Sure, they're in the business of making money but they definitely protect consumers as much as they can on the way to doing it. I don't care. I'll defend valve, downvote me.
