I worry that when Gabe Newell eventually retires or dies that some MBA shitheads will take over Steam and then it’ll decline like so many other things lately :(
If piracy is even still a thing by then. The major pirate sites are dropping one by one and drm software is getting better and more insidiuous with every year, as well as always-online games. It’s a losing battle at this rate…
Hopefully he has a good successor lined up. There’s definitely people out there with that quality first mindset. Quality costs a lot, a poor product costs you everything. That’s been beaten into my head my whole life by my father who is a recovered MBA goon with decades of experience watching the ebb and flow of many businesses in his little corner of the world (tools and fasteners).

I am prepared to pirate every single game I bought on that platform if that comes to happen =/
