It's going to be a very, very interesting series of events once Gabe passes away.
Enjoy him while we're able.
That scares me. I've been a huge steam fan boy since it was in beta. Lots of nostalgia. When the OGs pass away and valve is sold off to Amazon.. the end
Optimistic take: Linux gaming might become normal if this works.
Religious gamers should be praying really hard to their Deity/Pantheon for Gabe not to have a traffic accident and exercise a lot and eat healthy food so as not to have a heart attack, because after he dies many if not most of the games you "licensed" from Steam via a button in their app which says "Buy" might simply disappear from your account with some shitty excuse and you'll have no effective recourse unless you have a couple of millions of dollars to sue them for it in whatever court their EULA says you have to sue them on.
