Steam is successful because they're the only company in that market treating customers right.
I'd be very upset if the courts side with EA.
They're also one of the few (possibly only) that has not gone public.
Just a coincidence, I'm sure.
There are plenty of private companies that are shitty too. It definitely helps being private (and maybe is a requirement?), but you also have to have the right owners for private companies to be good.
For sure... Just one more reason to adopt co-determination laws like those in Germany.
Public or private, if the board of the company actually contained literal workers, it could make things so much better.
