Valve is the guy who steals your GF because he's nicer than you. And better looking. And he's still your friend somehow and you can't figure out a way to be angry without your ex and other friends thinking you're a dick and it makes you feel like you've lost your mind.

*This is a non-autobiographical joke for those who just can't.

It's not even a "steals your GF". It's more like "is in a poly relationship but will wingman for you with his partners even if he knows you aren't poly and will try to get his partners to leave him. But they aren't very interested, especially when you try to act like running Windows is a feature."

Assuming the GF is a metaphor for gamers.

I think the GF is a metaphor for marketshare, not gamers.
