Both games have a combined player count of barely 50 players, let that sink in.

	Diving deep into the bowels of the corporate machine, we discover that Valve is running like any other big corporation, on the misery and horror of ~~their employees~~, but on a completely different level. If you think their greed stops at their front doors, think again. In order to increase the productivity and interactions of their workers, Valve adopted an open-plan architectural design for their buildings in order to increase the productivity and interactions of their workers, but in reality, they just wanted to minimize the construction cost of individual offices. If it's not a completely open space, ~~it's~~ a small crowded cabal room where people are crammed in together like sardines, the only difference here is that no one will try to gas them. ~~These~~ areas do not only force their hirelings into a constant state of stress and discomfort, but ironically, it also greatly ~~reduces~~ their job performance and interpersonal collaboration~~, as many psychological studies show~~. On the other hand, does Valve give a shit? Not really. Because of these factors, the employees that should work in a team actually develop secretive competitive hostility against one another in order to climb the stack rank ladders, so these collaborative relationships lose all of their fucking meaning.

	Just like panopticon prisons, the main purpose of these office spaces is to easily control and scrutinize the poor suckers that happen to work there, who slowly lose their marbles and eventually develop paranoia. They deprive employees of basic needs such as privacy, calm, satisfaction, composure, motivation, and so on. Most of the time, workers are troubled by other distractions, constantly interrupted and annoyed. They can't have private conversations, and most of the time, the cabal rooms are polluted with excessive blabber where everyone is trying to cover the other person. Their desks are squeezed in so tightly that you could confuse the rooms with furniture waste dumps. Workers are susceptible to bad lighting and irregular temperatures that they can't adjust. They are always exposed to one another, risking a high chance of animosity and diseases. Besides these and many other negative aspects of open office slave pens, employees are subject to the circle-jerking that is present in the lifeless management structure. This minority of overseers formed and led an inquisition against the commoners who were deemed unworthy to work at Valve; some were labeled as "trouble makers" for trying to make a difference, which is unacceptable at Valve. You don't want someone to spark a hint of hope in the hearts of your people. In truth, the reason for these persecutions is fear. They fear that their tight management circle may get contaminated with new blood, something that the soulless husks that work there loath with all their essence, or better yet, lack thereof.

	To this day and age, you could compare it to a religion, since in the modern age the next logical step in the creation of a cult is this one. What ~~does~~ Valve and religion have in common? A centralized seat of power, leader(s), mindless drones following and worshiping it, a steady income based on the aforementioned mindless drones, influence in the real world, influence in history, apologists that blindly defend it, fanatic preachers, unwarranted media praise, total control and power over their followers, it's based on lies, deceit and secrecy etc.		In this day and age, you could compare it to a religion, since in the modern age, the next logical step in the creation of a cult is this one.

	[[Some argue]], that Valve isn't evil because its behaving like an efficient corporation. With that logic Nazism wasn't evil because it was behaving like an efficient ideology. Over the years Valve managed to slowly build a monopoly over the digital distribution of video games and maybe in the future, even software. Using processes like Greenlight and Early Access, they are not only controlling indie game developers but also unfinished games. With these two systems, Valve is no longer required to vouch for the quality of products, they just lay back and collect the market share while ignoring everything else.

It's not only indie game developers that want to escape the clutches of Steam, triple A game developers and publishers like [[Ubisoft]] and [[EA]] tried to build and popularize their own digital distribution platforms, refusing to list their upcoming releases on Steam. In the end, all of their releases later appeared on the platform, proving yet again, that all roads lead to Steam.

	Valve controls even the products you already own. By their own policy, you are not buying their products, you're renting them. You would think by paying for a product, you should legally own it. Well guess what? Though luck. You don't own it and you can't share it. Besides, Steam is at its core, a game registration ~~system, a~~ system to verify if you bought a legitimate copy of a product. This without disregarding forced automatic updates that would be handled through the developers website, where you could decide when to download and install a patch. Even after the registration of the product ~~was~~ concluded, the Steam client must always be running in order to use your product, even if ~~the product~~ doesn't require an internet connection. This system forces people to completely rely on Steam. There's also regional price inequality, where products cost more in Europe and Australia for no apparent reason. After people started buying products and gifting them to themselves or to each other, Valve decided to region-lock products, thus preventing people from different continents ~~to exchange~~ products. So there's a system that controls your property, forces upon you unwanted things and is always watching you. Ring any bells? If they can apply this kind of control over ~~its~~ users what would stop them ~~to create~~ new policies like a subscription based model for their products?

	The company has the power to cancel your account or any other ~~services~~ at any time. If your account is cancelled for whatever reason, you will get no refunds for any of the ~~owned~~ products. In the ~~case~~ that you disagree with their ~~Terms~~ and ~~Conditions~~, your only line of defense is to promptly fuck off and lose all access to your products.

	Does anyone remember mods? The free ~~license~~ software that is for everyone? If ~~someones~~ makes the mistake of publishing their mods on Steam, on the Steam forums, cloud-service or in-game communication platform, they lose all their rights to the mod and the software becomes property of Valve. In other words, Valve has the right to use, reproduce, modify, create derivative works from, distribute, transmit, broadcast, and otherwise communicate, and publicly display your mod, without the obligation to pay or even mention that you're the original creator. Basically stealing mods, something they have done from the start. The newly added feature to Steam allows ~~mod developers~~ to charge money, ask for donations or ~~continuing~~ making their ~~mod(s)~~ free. This without taking in consideration the future outrageous prices developers will ask for their creations, people trying to sell somebody else's content, mod piracy that wouldn't have existed otherwise and the horrendous future copyright issues that will emerge from this new clusterfuck. Assuming that mod creators want to opt-out ~~from~~ this gimmick and remove their paid content from Steam, they will be surprised when Valve won't do that unless legally compelled to do so~~, in~~ other words mod creators can't dictate what happens with their own creations once their concept gets sucked into the corporate womb. The idea of a donation option is commendable, but monetizing something that was previously free, where more than half of the money will end up in Valve's pocket is beyond greedy and malevolent, but who's surprised?

	Ultimately you're willingly taking part in a system that controls and watches you, and if anything goes wrong, you have zero rights. Valve and Steam are not ~~hated~~ because they ~~reap the rewards of~~ their original innovation, they are ~~hated~~ for their tyrannical ~~ways~~ of subduing software developers, consumers and the market.

Over the years, Source was updated repeatedly without any significant improvements, besides a [[Shit nobody cares about\|HDR support or certain game performances]].

	The Source engine, incredible overrated, always feels like the same mundane heap of manure, horribly sluggish and awful to control. The Source SDK, the software development kit compiled by Valve is the buggiest dev kit you could find. Besides the fact that it's always outdated and dilapidated, it's difficult to use, even by the standards of the most proficient of the neckbeards. The only exception is when an actual game developer team sits at it for several years with millions of dollars as backup money. The engine is atrocious for modding, ironically that should have been its forte. Unlike the mods that spawned from Half-Life 1, a big percentage of the released Half-Life 2 mods are complete garbage.

	Source is a very outdated ~~engine~~, since ~~for example~~, graphical speaking, a [[Portal 2\|new]] game from Valve on "[[Lie\|Ultra High]]" settings looks like [[Crysis]] on low settings. However, the only good thing about the engine is that very few game developers intend to use it.

In order to increase the productivity and interactions of their workers, Valve adopted an open-plan architectural design for their buildings in order to increase the productivity and interactions of their workers, but in reality, they just wanted to minimize the construction cost of individual offices. If it's not a completely open space, it's a small crowded cabal room where people are crammed in together like sardines, the only difference here is that no one will try to gas them. These areas do not only force their hirelings into a constant state of stress and discomfort, but ironically, it also greatly reduces their job performance and interpersonal collaboration, as many psychological studies show. On the other hand, does Valve give a shit? Not really. Because of these factors, the employees that should work in a team actually develop secretive competitive hostility against one another in order to climb the stack rank ladders, so these collaborative relationships lose all of their fucking meaning.

	Just like panopticon prisons, the main purpose of these office spaces is to easily control and scrutinize the poor suckers that happen to work there, who slowly lose their marbles and eventually develop paranoia. They ~~rob the employee~~ of ~~the most~~ basic needs ~~like~~ privacy, ~~calmness~~, satisfaction, composure, motivation and ~~much more~~. Most of the time workers are troubled by other distractions, constantly interrupted and annoyed~~, they~~ can't have private conversations and most of the time the cabal rooms are polluted with excessive blabber where everyone is trying to cover the other person. Their desks are squeezed in so tightly that you could confuse the rooms with furniture waste dumps. Workers are susceptible to bad lighting and irregular temperatures that they can't adjust. They are always exposed to one another, risking a high chance of animosity and diseases. Besides these and many ~~more~~ other negative aspects of open office slave pens, employees are subject to the circle-jerking that is present in the lifeless management structure. This minority of overseers formed and led an inquisition against the commoners who ~~are~~ deemed unworthy to work at Valve, some labeled as "trouble makers" for trying to make a difference, which is unacceptable at Valve. You don't want someone to spark a hint of hope in the hearts of your ~~peons~~. In truth the reason for these persecutions is fear. ~~Fear~~ that their tight management circle my get contaminated with new blood, something that the soulless ~~husk~~ that work there loath with all their essence, or better yet, lack thereof.

	* ''[[Counter-Strike]]'' - The first popular Half-Life mod that was bought up by Valve, which gets revamped every now and then with a new sequel, because the kiddies just can't get enough of using wallhacks and aimbots.

	* ''Day of Defeat'' - Another mod that was bought up by Valve. Unlike CS however, they first stripped everything good the mod had off it, then they proceeded to dumb it down, add horrible sound effects, horrible maps, horrible visuals, Britbongs and other useless things, like a pitbull mascot. People still played that shit anyway. Shortly after Volvo decided that Day of Defeat could be used for testing HDR graphic settings. In a short amount of time they created DoD: Source, then forgot to patch several guns, maps, weapons and more content and left it to rot and die.

			* ''Artifact'' - Also known as Artifuckd - A terrible card game that expected players to not only pay full price, but also pay for the cards too. Received scorn from players (and even Valve fanboys) the very first day it was revealed. Valve desperately tried to resurrect the game with a "refresh", but also failed and gave up mid-beta, which is why now have two versions of the game, both now Free 2 Play (with no reimbursement for the retards that actually bought it, lmao).
			* ''DotA Underlords'' - An "Auto Chess" clone that nobody plays and therefore never gets updated. Valve wanted to jump on the newest bandwagon (that lasted maybe half a year, before everyone but Riot Games forgot about it) and failed miserably.

Over the years, Source was updated repeatedly without any significant improvements, besides a [[Shit nobody cares about\|HDR support or certain game performances]].

	The Source engine, incredible overrated, always feels like the same mundane heap of manure, horribly sluggish and awful to control. The Source SDK, the software development kit compiled by Valve is the buggiest dev kit you could find. Besides the fact that it's always outdated and dilapidated, it's difficult to use, even by the standards of the most proficient of the neckbeards. The only exception is when an actual game developer team sits at it for several years with millions of dollars as backup money. The engine is atrocious for modding, ironically that should have been its forte. Unlike the mods that spawned from Half-Life 1, a big percentage of the released Half-Life 2 mods are complete garbage.

	Source is a very outdated ~~engine~~, since ~~for example~~, graphical speaking, a [[Portal 2\|new]] game from Valve on "[[Lie\|Ultra High]]" settings looks like [[Crysis]] on low settings. However, the only good thing about the engine is that very few game developers intend to use it.
