No digital game store is worth your loyalty.

When that store is run by a company that contributes massively to open source and works harder and puts more money into enabling alternate platforms for gaming than all other companies combined; ya, they have my loyalty.

Don't confuse their initiative for benevolence. At the end of the day it's all still for their own benefit and their ecosystem.

The contributions to open source are still a nice side effect.
