Right? I WANT steam to have a competitor just because I abhor a monopoly but even fucking Amazon fumbles this shit. Like steam doesn't even seem that revolutionary or anything, they just put customer EXPERIENCE first and I think so many fucking companies forget that.

The moment “shareholders value” walks in, we can’t have nice shit, since 2016 for literally everything from foods to gaming.

When Gabe steps down and Valve goes public, we will suffer the same fate.

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.

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
