I was unaware closed source stood for anything. Since open source is free, as in speech, it 'stands for something' just by its nature. What does closed source stand for? Superfluous amounts of patent litigation? Immoral software licenses? Moronic support contracts? Charging customers for bug fixes? Massive security flaws and cascading software failures? The ever misleading 'warranty'. None of these things have to do with Valve of course but they are just things that came to my head when I thought about some of the biggest proponents of closed source.
