   @Rasterman Valve is privately held so Gaben doesn't have to fight with faceless avaricious shareholders to compete on quality.

     For now.
     
     Wait 'til Gabe dies of old age.
     
     We're living in "the good old days" right now.

     If only we could go back to games just... coming by themselves. Pop in a disc (be it floppy, CD, or DVD), install, and that's it. Maybe install a few patches down the road. No connection whatsoever to anything else.

     Once upon a time, THIS is what a "games library" looked like.
     
     And that was perfectly fine by me.

     We are gonna seriously miss Gabe when Steam gets acquired by whoever and is filled with anti-gamer, pro-shareholder bullshit at the orders of their Blackrock massuhs who have no idea how video games work, don't care, and will slap down all complaints from their customers with "WHINY ENTITLED MILLENNIAL RACIST MISOGYNIST HOMOPHOBES!!!"
