This is exactly it. Fuck all of those news articles because they all try to make out steam as the bad guy. Steam is the best of guys based on the fact that it let's you sell steam keys, which let me remind you THEY MAKE NO PRFIT ON on other platforms and all they ask is that you don't sell them dirt cheap?

VALVE PAYS FOR THE BANDWIDTH THAT DOWNLOADING THE GAME USES. Honestly the fact that they are willing to absorb all the costs while making none of the profit is absolutely mind blowing.
