Microsoft contributes a lot of stuff to open source but that's really far away from my point.

Microsoft is not a fair comparison to Steam, hence why I refocused to Xbox.

I'm explaining myself because you are being a child and taking my words way to literally. Microsoft being slightly worse does not make steam "good".

"Obviously I didn't mean what I said, don't be a child!" ๐Ÿ™„

Valve can run and offer the same services it does now on a fraction of what they charge.

They could even do it for free, out of the goodness of their hearts!

"Explain it to me or you lose" is insanely childish behavior, specially when I just explained that's not what I meant and you are being too literal but I mean, here

"I was told there would be no fact-checking"

Explain to me why you think Gaben deserves a net worth of 4 000 000 000 $.

Wow, those goalposts are really movin' now!

That is who you are being a mouthpiece for, stop defending billionaires.

See my previous comment about how boring and smug your take is.
