I don’t use it, but last time I checked they still haven’t implemented a review system… Also their ceo is out there saying stuff like this https://www.tomshardware.com/tech-industry/artificial-intelligence/epic-boss-tim-sweeney-blasts-steam-for-putting-ai-tags-on-games-says-move-is-irresponsible-of-valve
Edit: Can’t believe I forgot buying rocket league, then removing it from steam.
“Walmart advertises some of the things they sell, but never advertise the off brand water” ok, and???
So just to recap you want valve to become a non profit, and open source their platform? It seems like you’re really mad at capitalism, and just chose to lash out at valve.
They could operate in a much more anti consumer way, like other game companies (Epic), they could remove user reviews, they could get rid of the ability for games to be added to the store without a publisher, but they don’t.
It’s a bit hard to justify a 3d printer for a single project, but if you think you’ll use it for other projects then that’s the way I would go. I just finished putting together a bit of a Frankenstein 10" rack based around these https://www.printables.com/model/1564648-rail-with-integrated-caps-for-10-inch-rack-system https://www.printables.com/model/1173672-10-mini-rack-all-3d-printable
Biggest callout would be to make sure the printers you’re looking at have a large enough bed size to print the model you land on. The original one I was planning on printing couldn’t fit on my printer.
