As long as Valve remains a private company, and Gabe remains in charge, I don't see them getting too shitty.

But if they go public? Forget about it.

This is my fear. Gabe won't last forever, and I don't know anyone else who has a customer centric approach as he does. Maybe that guy from Costco who threatened to kill someone over the hot dog price.
