i agree, it is always a race to the bottom

Not to disagree with you, but I would say Valve has a good track record of specifically not trying to fuck people over and they tend to make high quality games. But that can always change so it is good to always keep that in mind.

no u

that doesn't make sense in the context of the post you replied to

summed up: well i dont read shit so you're gonna have to spoonfeed it to me so i can spit it out in your face without even tasting it
