Last year, I pointed out how many big publishers came crawlin' back to Steam after trying their own things: EA, Activision, Microsoft. This year, for the first time ever, two Blizzard games released on Steam: Overwatch and Diablo 4.

Let's start a pool to predict how many years/months until Steam enshitifies. It WILL happen. It's just a matter of when.

Of course, but I'm not expecting that to happen until Gabe dies or retires. Until then I think Steam will be number 1.

For what reason? They have no shareholders .

Gabe won't live forever and usually someone new wants to put their vision up, and make their changes and feel special and then bam.

Mess.

So many missed opportunities for da profitz

Hopefully not soon, but probably once Gabe is gone if i had to guess.

If steam goes public, might as well start packing the bug out bag because shit is going to go south real quick.

It WILL happen. It’s just a matter of when.

Probably but that doesn't mean that I have to buy games on inferior platform now.
