They’re not saints, especially with the games distribution platform monopoly they’re sitting on top of, but...

I really think Valve have become the de-facto owners of the “don’t be evil” motto nowadays, even if they don’t advertise themselves as such.

They profit off getting kids addicted to gambling. Is that not evil?

Right. There is 1 good thing about Steam (it can be summarized to the point of openness), and the rest is evil. I don't get the article.

They have no morals with how they make money. No morals in politics. They are running a monopoly with a 30% cut.

How is that a "do no evil" company? Because you can install an app from Epic? Give me a break...
