Valve support has historically been pretty awesome. They even replaced an index controller nearly a year out of warranty. Granted their controllers have a shit switch and they break after a few hundred hours, but good on support for being bros.
That’s basically all corporate entities. They’re not beholden to the workers, the consumers, or the general public and instead answer to people generally trying to milk everything as hard as possible.
Not gonna defend corporations here, but valve isnt public. They are privately owned by the bosses and employees, valve has one of the lowest turnover rates in the industry. It is quite difficult to get a job there for that reason. So they are actually quite beholden to their workers.
Valve wouldn’t exist at it is if it was public and might not exist as it is if it wasn’t for Newell (and I say that as a person that’s very critical of Valve, they’re still very far from how bad they could be considering their position)

That is why Gaben must be protected at all costs.
What if we simply extended steam warranty and support to Gabe’s brain
Head jar like in Futurama it is.

Indeed but Valve is an exception to the rule which otherwise applies to 99% of corporations.

All public corporations, private ones can be run by a benevolent leader.
At least until the leader gets corrupted by the power if there is enough of it. Then they become not so benevolent
Hence the use of the word “can” and not “are”

I see, that’s valid then, and I agree that Valve isn’t some godsend charity, it just happens to work better than the rest for us buyers
Gaben has ensures that he has 51% of the company so he can veto anything including a leadership change. He would need to sell or die.
