I think most gamers see a serious difference between ubisoft and Steam.
Ubisoft is a publicly traded company who only exists to make money for shareholders, and Valve is a privately owned company with no plans to go public, so it has no greedy shareholders forcing the company to engage in anti consumer decisions.
Anyone who looks at the two entities can clearly see which is better for the end user.
No greedy shareholders, yet Valve pioneered the lootbox and micro transactions that G*mers complain about with other companies.
A company doesn’t need to be public to be greedy. And using that as the sole distinction between “good and bad” companies is an incredibly sheltered take.
