That's a good point, it's an interesting social phenomenon that people tend to be fond of Valve in spite of this because they're seen as good stewards of the space. It's like having a landlord that takes good care of the property and makes regular improvements. The property relations are still exploitative, but they're doing better than most others would within that exploitative framework.
