The decline of the Steam games platform is inevitable, and there are already warning signs.

Another day another corporate hit piece to take down valve. They aren't going anywhere. They're a private company with no plans on going public ever. From what I hear, the company leadership will transfer to the lead engineer who shares the same visions as Gabe. Why would you want a personal money printer in your pocket to go public and then just get absolutely raped by some investor pieces of sshit when you have one of the highest profit to employee ratios in the entire industry. It makes absolutely no sense to strangle this Golden goose even for the greediest of people.

I swear to God the news is just fucking awful these days just paid hit pieces to spread whatever view some rich guy wants. This is all because valve won't bend the knee and is disrupting industries and poising to dethrone Microsoft right now in the OS space and they've also branched into hardware. Other companies are threatened by them.
