Imo VALVe is still the only one who cares and interacts so much with their community. Yes they have their flaws, and they can be ugly at times, but hey, what other dev mails you straight away when you report a bug to resolve it? So far this only happends to me with VALVe. From other devs u should thank god on your knees to ever get any response at all.
The games are worth their money, and the suport on their games is insanely long. VALVe still has and will continue to have my support.
