It was telling being at the first Steam Dev Days and hearing again and again how Valve distinctly, publicly, never wanted any exclusivity on anything coming to steam, they’d never ask for it and it wasn’t something they were interested in. Same on VR, they never wanted to ‘own’ it or it’s ecosystem, they just wanted to see the medium grow. Valve doesn’t do everything perfect, no one does, but these points earned a tremendous amount of respect from me.
