Relax bro, no one’s dictating here, they are all voicing opinions.
And while I do believe Valve has all the rights to do what it wants to as a private company and respectably so. But so does EA for that matter, Except the community of gamers gave them a bashing for those microtransactions, and rightfully so, now they are thinking twice about it. No matter how much we say that private owners can do what they want, I think after a certain scale of power and influence over a certain sector this argument once again goes into murky waters and becomes open to certain regulations, legislations, open pressure and arguments. In the end Valve remains to have the full freedom of choice.
