    The reason steam has managed to remain consistently relevant and beloved by its users is for sure the fact that it is not a public company, but owned by nerds and the people working there. Makes for a great employee retention, and without being hounded by shareholders they can operate properly and with long term plans.

      Yep. If they ever go public, we’re all fucked. Shareholders and quarterly reports ruin everything.

        Was thinking the same thing. If steam goes public and gaben moves on to whatever, enshittification will begin.

          God, hopefully someone else can take up the torch if that ever happens.
