    Yeah, that statement was a bit naive, but some companies do business ethically, and some throw ethics out the window in pursuit of profits. The latter is basically a requirement for publically traded companies, and still pretty rare among privately owned businesses. I hate to speak in defense of any company but in my opinion valve has been pretty consistently ethical. Don’t take my word for it though, I’m just a random person on the internet, I could have missed some shitty practices.

    Anyways my original point was that while of course all businesses are driven by profit, some aren’t driven by it to the exclusion of all else.
