Gabe Newell will die one day and with him the age of gaming shall die as well.

Any other owner would sell out to the billions of amazon and microsoft.

We can only hope that there are people waiting in the wings at Valve who are ready to take over the reins whenever Gaben is done and carry the torch forward in the same direction.

I am pretty sure that already happened. Any bigger (or even many smaller) companies have disaster recovery plans if one of the higher ups dies or vanishes. There is a high likelihood that the next valve leader is already fixed or at least a Gremium to get to there.

They could open the code even more, that day real free gaming and Steam Machines will be a real thing.
