This is my main reason. Valve has a good reputation. If I buy a game and it doesn’t work, then I can complain and will probably get my money back. I know developers will target my platform specifically.
I only want to troubleshoot if the whole thing is open source and I really can fix it myself. Other people pay me to figure out problems in proprietary software. This will be Valve’s computer in my home, not my computer.
