Showing up is 90% of winning a battle. Other companies didn't bother with digital distribution and left the field wide open to Valve. All for the better, perhaps, it would be terrible if EA or Activision had the market all to themselves. But even though they are not purely a game company, Valve are among the dwindling developers that actually embrace modders and giving players choice. In the console-centered world, the idea of free custom maps or player-run servers is fading from memory.
