It’s because valve has always been transparent about it

Gonna stop you right there. It’s only recently, after being forced to. That Steam highlights that you are buying a licence.

I find it so strange that people hate Ubisoft for this, but would rush to defend Valve for starting this trend.

To be fair. That does sound like 1984 described by someone who has never read 1984 but keeps bringing it up like they have.

Nostalgia is a hell of a drug. Especially when you’ve only ever read one book.
