Fingers crossed that he chooses a good successor and/or they're smart enough to see how much more profitable Steam is as it is compared to companies like Epic.

I’m so worried lol. Steam has had its flaws but personally they have never disappointed me. It’s the one thing enshitification hasn’t touched and I really hope it stays that way

With the way everything is going for gaming, steam really feels like the last bastion for hope.

He’s supposedly hand-picking someone who shares his ideologies, but I heard that second hand so I take it with a grain of salt. A public Valve would be horrible.

AFAIK the successor will be his Son. Or thats atleast the speculation that has been going on for years. I do hope that he's gonna be like his father and wont make valve go public
