@ramin_hal9001 granted, #Google never open-sourced the key components of #Android like the #PlayStore + #GoogleServicesFramework and #Valve being a non-listed company with privately-held, non-publicly traded shares is under way less pressure to maximize short-term gains.

• Obviously they do want to make profit, and being the de-facto #monopolist in #PCgaming already makes it comfy for them…

It's just that #Steam needs to be approachable for #developers and #customers as with either missing they'll basically die like #EA's and #Ubisoft's attempts…

• So yeah we should be grateful for #EpicGames and #GOG as the ones forcing Valve to not "alter the deal" for worse…
