Yes, but before Valve you had a lot more choice, because you could buy things in actual shops. I didn't have to wait until the handful of predetermined "sale weeks" a year to actually get games at budget prices.

And it's not just Valve, but if they ever go public or bust, you'll all wonder how you were ever fooled for so long.
