Valve is not your friend, and Steam is not healthy for gaming

quote [ This, then, is Good Guy Valve — a corporation which employs precision-engineered psychological tools to trick people into giving them money in exchange for goods they don't legally own and may never actually use while profiting from a whole lot of unpaid labor and speculative work ... but isn't “evil.” ]

I'm not a huge gamer, since I usually buy games 5+ years after the come out, but I'm pretty sure I'm pushing triple digits per dollar on some titles like Halo, FTL, Fallout 3, etc. The big Steam sales seem to be priced similarly. Heck, I still go on Myth and Marathon binges every few years. Don't get me started on Angband.
