I know a lot of people idolize him, and that's probably not healthy, but he just gets it. Provide value and convenience for consumers, and consumers will stick around. Be an inconvenience while squeezing consumers for money, and we'll leave with a parrot on our shoulders and a one-finger salute.

He's a weird case, Steam has always been good for pc gaming and Valve releases nothing but polished games without anything predatory.

He just seems to be interested in maintaining a successful business instead of squeezing more money out of people constantly.
