    And this comment is why I feel I have to say it. Credit where credit is due, but being this bristly over someone pointing out that the contributions of the open source community aren’t the work of valve and valve alone is ridiculous

      Not being bristly at all. Your comments seem to assume: 1) People don’t already know (check the thread you’re in) 2) Valve is doing something wrong, and/or 3) They are somehow at fault for something, like stolen valor or not giving credit where credit is due.

      You suggested your comment was pedantic, and I confirmed, and it’s because of your tone. I’m not rage replying to your comments, just correcting the context because I feel you have the wrong take.

        People don’t already know (check the thread you’re in)

        If you can say that about one thing you can say it about anything, including your first comment I replied to, which heavily implied valve is to credit for everything even though a large share of the work over the years has been done by passionate people for no compensation.

        1. Valve is doing something wrong, and/or 3) They are somehow at fault for something, like stolen valor or not giving credit where credit is due.

        Nope, was only adding a little context, because though you claim everyone viewing this thread would already know, I’m sure you’re incorrect.
