How is Lemmy so anti corporate, but bends over backwards to defend steam as an immaculate corporation. I love steam, and 90% of my game purchases or from their store. 5% are from stores that let me redeem steam keys.

I think their market position should have some scrutiny.

A few reasons:

I feel like any other major company with Steam's marketshare would be far less consumer friendly than steam.
Steam funnels a lot of money into Linux, and Linux is very popular on Lemmy. If you use Linux, you are benefiting from Steam's success.
Steam is just nice to use, and has good deals. It's nice to have my games in one place, and I don't know if any other storefront with as many nice user benefiting features as steam.

I agree with all these things. But I dont understand the hail corporate mentality of being upset or knee jerk defending steam. I'm curious to see where the suit goes and evaluate if I should consider joining a class action suit as I learn more.

Its more we're defending against Steams competition and dont want to see them gain any ground (Except itch and GoG, they're cool)
