In 2022, Blizzard was valued at $60B and had a gross profit of $5.4B. Valve almost certainly had a gross profit more than that (Microsoft estimated $6.5B in 2021). $16B would be such a laughably low figure for the company, especially since Microsoft bought Blizzard at $70B (market cap of $74B around the same time). Not to mention how low-risk Valve’s profit is.

Not that I’m defending this move, but there is a difference between this and your example. iirc, the way Lemmy works, to get content from other instances, this instance “caches” the data and then hosts the data on their server(s) for the users to access. Because of this, the instance is technically hosting the data and could theoretically be held liable in any lawsuits.
Please do correct me if I misunderstand how Lemmy works. Also reading through other comments, it seems like no pirated content is actually hosted on those communities, so I doubt that they could be held liable in the first place.
How do you play bubble volleyball?

There’s a FiiO BTR5 that is a small external DAC with many bluetooth formats. It can have up to two devices connected at the same time, although audio can only switch between the two devices, not play both at the same time
I play rhythm games. Like a lot. Maybe to many?
I like using liftoff, especially the everything feed since I have multiple lemmy accounts
