    Well let me think some reasons to actually support Valve:

    • Supports open source
    • Doesn’t try to fuck up their customer base
    • Produces nonrestrictive hardware
    • Invents things to make gaming better
    • Their own games actually optimized and work on older hardware
    • Optimizes the gaming experience and helps 3rd party developers to be successful (literally opposite of Nintendo)
    • Customer support actually work
    • Non invasive opt in data collection / telemetry to make products better
    • Filters away the adware customer is product bs
    • Supports older hardware by updating / upgrading drivers that original manifacturer doesn’t anymore (less evaste, more opportunities to game)
    • Developed SteamOS (Linux distribution) to keep Microsoft from vendor locking gaming

      If you add 2 spaces before using a line break markdown will preserve your formatting. Alternatively, if you add a space after the hyphen you can make a bullet list which will also keep your line breaks.

        I learned recently you can also add a \ to get
        a similar effect.
