    Far as I’m aware there are a ton of safety measures in place to keep Valve a private company

      I hope so. And I hope whoever eventually replaces Gabe and other behind the scenes higher ups are hand picked because they share the same love for gaming that the current people do.

      Watching Gabe talk about playing Dota on the steam deck and making sure it was viable, you could just tell he loves games. He cares about the experience.

      Sometimes that hinders things. Probably why we won’t be getting a portal or half life 3. Because he doesn’t see something matching the quality that those games achieved. And they also have done some stuff that I’m less fond of. I believe it was CS and TF2 that really started some of the loot crate random reward gambling type stuff. But all in all, the people at steam do currently seem to care about giving gamers a good experience.

      I just hope that doesn’t change.
