Valve is a privately owned company. Free speech only applies to governments, meaning they cannot put you in jail for what you say.
That's good, but what they should do, is sell the games in two parts. A main part vended with Steam, and a separate part supplied through a website and hosting service.
Still, I really don't care if we lose the gross stuff. But won't somebody please think of the twins boobies?
Meaning you as a person have less control over your own life and what you can enjoy is being decided by an outside influence. That's what people should be afraid of.
No one ever wanted less power and control, only more of it.
Or they can just continue doing business without trying to overturn the apple cart for some problematic games that don't generate that much revenue in the grand scheme. Valve made the decision they wanted to make, it's not going to affect them in the least, they'll make more money this year than you ever will. Your problems aren't their problems. And your ideas are worthless because you don't really understand the issue well enough to solve it. You're just mad that some other service has terms and conditions. Valve does too, that doesn't seem to bother you so much. What makes Valve so special again?
Free speech, as protected by the First Amendment, is the right to express one's opinions and ideas without government censorship or restraint. This right is not absolute and has limitations, particularly when it comes to speech that incites violence, threatens others, or is considered defamatory. The concept is crucial for a functioning democracy, allowing for open debate, criticism of government, and the exchange of diverse viewpoints.
First Amendment:
The First Amendment to the U.S. Constitution protects individuals from government censorship. It does not apply to private companies or their policies regarding employee speech.

Feel free to look it up.
Freedom is an illusion.
That is such BS, free speech applies to everything period.
I'm not gonna let you undermine this, if Valve wants to become a direct subsidiary to Visa and Mastercard then they need to announce their formal retiring from independent operation and merge with those companies, if not, they need to act in the defense of their own products and services. You're telling me the near monopoly on -all- PC gaming cant say "go ahead mastercard, see what happens when you pull that trigger." Give me a break
