There's an axiom I don't know the provenance of:

"You can't reason someone out of a position they didn't reason themselves into"

It takes an emotional shock, most of the time, to break that kind of deathgrip on a false reality

You know valve isn't Microsoft right? Those are two different companies with different agendas?
