I love Steam (have 2000 or so games on it) but I realize it is only a matter of time before it gets enshittified.
Maybe, but it's still a private company.
That doesn't guarantee much of anything, though, and private companies still have investors that can influence the direction of the company. E.g., a lot of people are wary of Tencent's influence over Epic or Reddit even though both are private.
That's true, but Gabe still owns over half the stock, and I doubt he's looking to sell.
Honestly I just assume Valve is Gabe's hobby workdesk at this point.
