Valve is a good company in that they make an enormous amount of money running steam and they use that money to fund generally positive things. That's about as good as you can hope tbh

That's pretty much definition of textbook capitalism: they benefit from doing something that benefits others too.

Too bad this is a rare case in the real world capitalism

It's more common than you think, like Apple has done a great job integrating privacy and security features into their OS both because they don't really stand to gain from user data collection the same way Google does, its a good selling point, it helps them protect their app store revenue streams etc. nd also because they actually care about it.

OTOH they are agreesively anti right to repair

Can you post us the definition of capitalism please?

[–] sukhmel@programming.dev 1 points 3 weeks ago

Capitalism is an economic system where private individuals or businesses own capital goods, and the free market controls the production of goods and services.

Capitalism is a system of economic production

Private property promotes efficiency by giving the owner of resources an incentive to maximize the value of their property

A capitalist earns the highest profit by utilizing capital goods, such as machinery and tools, most efficiently while producing the highest-value goods or services.
