    If Steam or Valve ever goes public and IPOs, I’m gonna fucking kill myself.

    They seem to be the only ones who aren’t like going through an enshitification cycle right now.

        I’m glad that it seems like he’s extended the longevity of his life by losing a lot of weight. Have you seen him now? Looks amazing for his age. I think if he continued where he was, he might’ve passed away at some point or be in a worse condition.

        He needs as much time as possible to decide what he’s going to do after he’s gone.

      That’s a little dramatic.

      I don’t think they’ll ever become an IPO.

      But it’s more likely that if Gabe doesn’t have someone or something in mind that keeps Steam on track, there’s few companies that can buy it. Microsoft could acquire it. Sony could acquire it. Epic games could acquire it.

      Companies that would have no care or clue in how to keep Steam as is.
