And this is why we shouldn’t rely on steam to be the one and only saviour. GoG and pirating is needed so we can make sure we can enjoy our games in the future.
I vaguely recall hearing that his son had no interest in running the company but that was also years ago. Hopefully whoever is set to take over when he goes shares his exact same views on keeping the company private.
I think if he really wants that plan to shake out he needs to transition ownership while he’s alive. Just dumping it on them with no discussion, no cultural adjustment and no preparation time will cause a lot of problems.
Gabe has stated several times that as long as he is running things he will never go public and let it get ruined like that.

Gog keeps hitting me with admin access requests when I’m not even doing anything on it. Repeatedly. Until I kill the task. Not a fan.

Ready player one.
It would be great but we all know that IRL it wouldn’t work and elon would just pay the best player to win it for him.
Isn’t that vaguely what the villain of ready player one does?
Yes but he doesn’t end up getting it in the movie. That’s the part where i don’t think it’s real.
