You're
trying to apply an impossible standard to closed source software that
software that was that developed from the start to be open source and
developed in the open cannot meet.
There are a lot or security holes regularly surfacing in all kinds of software. We don't even have the post mortem of the kernel.org compromise
, as one example. Even some Debian servers got hacked. Open source helps but lets not pretend it's a panacea.
It's not all or nothing. Open source is better than close source for security auditing purposes, but of course open source alone is not enough, nor is it impervious to security flaws. It's just better than the alternative.
Steam
is a basically a middleman for games taking 30% cut of revenue. Of course they're and should be
terrified of how Apple eliminated middlemen with the App store and the
30% cut of all sales inside the app. There are things like Xfire for the
social gaming features.
