funny how much the memory of how bad steam used to be faded over time, people used to DESPISE Valve for it lol. Was seen as a glorified launcher for games like Half-Life with downright glacial download speeds.
Larian is a close one but it still has detractors I feel. Valve *definitely* has haters, me included. Shit company with a virtual monopoly on online game sales on PC just because they have the only online store that isn’t terrible to use. They sorely need a proper competitor but sadly I feel people would just get upset because all of their existing library is on steam.
Wube, Relogic, Larian, whatever Toby Fox’s company is called (if he even has one), Weather Factory, Fancy Fish Games, Ludeon, probably also a lot mroe I don’t remember.
Lol at the idea that Steam isn’t hated. Of all the major online game retailers, they are the best, but that’s not saying much. The fact that the Sex With Hitler game **series** exists on there with no real way to get it taken down is a black mark on the company.
A few people mentioned Concerned Ape, he’s good people
Oh Valve is haaaaaated by many people in the CounterStrike community 😬
Larian?
SuperGiant?
I can’t think of any others.
Ehh… Let’s not idolize corporations. Valve does a lot of cool stuff but there’s plenty of things going on there that are pretty iffy.
Lmfao
Sure, the ones who created and popularized loot boxes gambling and the first wave of battle passes are definitely deserving of not being hated
nuh uh. don’t put gabe newell in the ring with me, he’ll find out that the 30% was NOT worth it
Hello Games has very much redeemed themselves nowadays. They’re *still* pushing out free major updates on No Man’s Sky, nearly 8 years later
maybe ghost ship games
Team Cherry?
Lionhead Studios were loved, shame they don’t exist anymore.
Remedy.
Larian Studios.
Some indie studios (I’m bad with names but there’s gotta be some small ones out there that haven’t pissed people off)

Wayforward seems pretty loved 🙂
Surprised to see nobody mentioned from software
Pathea?
I know multiple people who hate Steam.
Fromsoft, RGG games, Remedy, and Larian are pretty clean too.
I still haven’t forgiven Valve for buying Campo Santo and the death of In the Valley of Gods

ConcernedApe (although one guy) should be sat at the head of the table
