Nobody. Valve spend millions on advertising to remain popular and outshadow competitors. As a result there are many brainwashed fools who go around defending the company like you can see in this thread
I've literally never seen a tv ad for valve...hell I think I saw a print add in a gaming mag one time...but they really don't need to spend money on advertising, they provide a service better than anyone else and that's what keeps them around...EGS has been giving away titles for years now and they're platform still sucks and is a reason they're not as big as steam, not because of advertising.
