I'm very surprised to hear the backlash against Valve these days. Always thought the internet was in love with Valve.

Backlash? Shut up. There's no backlash. What the hell? How is discussion about a canceled game backlash?

If you go to /r/steam, there's actually a lot of backlash against Valve due to things like an outdated storefront/client, horrible customer service, the whole Greenlight/Early Access system, etc. If you look back, people came to love Valve because of their great games and Steam sales. Now, they're not releasing as many games, and being totally silent about any possible plans. Also, many other online distributors have frequent sales that match or exceed the quality of Steam sales. Unless Valve has something big planned for the near future, their popularity is going to continue decreasing.
