How often do you complain about games being released unfinished?
never about a valve game
steam is just a market
Big Stockholm energy there.
which valve game was ever fucked up? like ubisoft or bethesda fucked up?
Counter Strike, TF2, Half-life 2.
And forcing users to download a proprietary launcher
idk what was wrong with the games you named (except hl2 episode 3), yeah, the propriotary launcher is not so nice, but at least they support FOSS besides that, I love GabeN for making even games from other studios playable on Linux
Creating the loot box economy, profiting off cosmetics while hackers ruin the game, sequels that add small features, forcing a contained story to be episodic.

I don't want to say they are perfect, but they are better. while they offer cosmetics in cs, others would have made it pay to win. portal 1, hl 1, l4d1 wouldn't be playable anymore if it was for ubisoft, you get the point.
come to think, the only 2 things I'm mad at: propriotary launcher and they took down csgo with the community stuff
