No, they can't. And the "biggest name" in PC gaming doesn't mean they're the biggest actual company in PC gaming, much less the biggest company in computing as a whole. They're not even in the same league as datacenter operators and builders anymore. Nobody is. Maybe they should be. I think they deserve to be. But they aren't. I too, wish the entire economy still made sense. But it's not Valve's fault that it doesn't. They are not the ones causing this to be a reality, but it is still the reality whether it makes sense or not and whether we agree with it or not.
