It wasn't their money to spend. Devs lost their jobs because Valve kept taking more than they needed.
Again, 1 Million dollars. Per Year. Per Employee. That means per every single Linux dev they employed, they still made a million dollars per employee.
That's indefensible and it's really weird to see lemmy get their dicks hard about excess greedy capitalism just cause this time it's behind a service that they like. Facebook gave back a huge amount of open source projects but that doesn't make up for the harm they've caused, even just the harm caused by them sucking up an inordinate amount of societal resources, and Facebook "only" makes ~$750k per employee per year.
Sure it is. That's how a free market works. You are free to engage directly with indie developers on itch.io etc. It's not your call to make what others do with their money. You don't see me fuming with rage just because you spend your money on different games market places.
