Rules:
- 1: No spam or advertising. This basically means no linking to your own content on blogs, YouTube, Twitch, etc.
- 2: No bigotry or gatekeeping. This should be obvious, but neither of those things will be tolerated. This goes for linked content too; if the site has some heavy "anti-woke" energy, you probably shouldn't be posting it here.
- 3: No untagged game spoilers. If the game was recently released or not released at all yet, use the Spoiler tag (the little ⚠️ button) in the body text, and avoid typing spoilers in the title. It should also be avoided to openly talk about major story spoilers, even in old games.

Nice! A video game company listened to their consumers for once. Or at least listened to their spending habits. Hopefully more follow suit
Being privately owned by a person who is a video game enthusiast really helps. Gabe already has 'fuck you' money and just wants to make video games and gadgets (and, apparently, deep sea submarines!).
If Valve is ever sold it'll go the route of every other publicly traded company.
“Spending habits”, exactly! They probably have other monetisation strategies lined up already. Hopefully it’s something also better for the users… (Can’t read the details right now, so I don’t know if that was mentioned)
