It's incredibly frustrating from an ideological perspective that the whole PC gaming industry runs on a benevolent dictatorship by Valve.
I mean they have near total control not just over sales, but over the gaming software installed on our PCs. They have the power to do whatever, whenever, to whoever.
But at the same time, they're cool people with good products who have good stewardship of this role.
So we uncritically give them all the power.
GabeN is getting pretty old, and he can't keep doing this forever. It'll be interesting to see where the company goes after that.
By "interesting" I mean "expecting it to be handed over to salivating, greedy idiots who don't know what made it work before".
The day Gabe dies and pathetic bastards with business degrees take over and ruin everything that's made Steam great for all these years, is the day I begin pirating everything.
Exactly. Steam is a load-bearing member. After seeing what happened to Twitter, Reddit, Unity, Wikia, etc. it's reasonable to think ahead. If Valve gets enshittified that's basically the end of PC gaming.
