I know it's semantics, But I dont think 'financially irresponsible' is the right semantics to use the context. Gaben could put a video out tomorrow of him burning piles of Nintendo merchandise and swearing that Steam will never do business with Nintendo and both Gaben and Valve would be fine. It's hard to conceive of how much money an entity like Valve has and how fast it continues to accumulate. Steve Jobs was notorious for shit listing companies like AMD or Nvidia and it doesn't seem to have been detrimental to Apple whatsoever.

The difference is that Apple has alteratives to AMD CPUs and Nvidia GPUs. Whereas the Nintendo products are unique.
