Valve Does Nothing? Well Ackchyually...
The classic "well, actually" guy strikes again! While gamers love to meme that Valve (the company behind Steam) just sits around counting money from game sales, this meme hilariously points out all the features they've actually built. From Steam Workshop for mods to Proton for running Windows games on Linux, it's the perfect comeback to the "Valve does nothing" crowd. The glasses-wearing "ackchyually" character is the perfect embodiment of that one friend who can't resist correcting everyone with excruciating technical detail. The irony?

When Nintendo announces a €459.99 Switch 2? Meh, too expensive. But slap a Steam logo on a handheld gaming PC for €419? Take my money immediately!

The Steam Deck: where we convince ourselves we're making a practical purchase while still blowing our rent money on games.
