Developing and distributing proprietary software is unethical. The developer keeps people divided, subjugated, and helpless. Having Steam on GNU/Linux makes attractive bait in Valve's latest attempt to convince more people to give up control over the technology in their lives.

In exchange for Steam people receive software that is proprietary and doesn't allow them to study or modify it, that requires people to agree to be subjugated by Valve and to never share or help their friends, and that is Defective By Design.

I hope that, as Vavle's attack on human freedom moves forward, people will recognize this as the poor deal that it is and refuse it. For their freedom's sake.
