    But that’s just a happy little accident. Gabe is too much of a good guy, so he actually built a good distribution platform that also pushes for improvements for the whole ecosystem (like the Linux thing).

    When he’s gone, capitalism dictates that enshitification must ensue in order to squeeze out every single cent of short term profit, and we’ll be screwed.

      Depends on what happens to the company. Maybe he has children that can inherit his company shares and maybe they don’t want it to change.

      Maybe they set up a trust or something that can take ownership.

      I really hope valve never gets sold.
