Leave it to the stupidity and greed of people to fuck themselves over. The less you do the less you are likely to fuck up.

Bro created some of the iconic games of the 2000s to promote his game distribution system, sat back and watched the industry grow.
Steam organically evolved from a game store to a milti-faceted gaming forum, socialising platform and have been by recent standards one of the most moral gaming corporation to date.

Bro absolutely does something, compare current Steam to all versions up until now.
Pretty simple, he first made a good product and then he didn’t make it worse.

I dread the moment when Gabe is no longer in Control of Steam and it will become another soulless and amoral shithole…

Hoping and praying that Steam wont change for the next 100 years.
And Gabe to live long as he can.

Valve and Steam are not publicly traded. It means Gaben can just sit on his cash cow and not have investors try and constantly push the “profitability” of his business by making changes that might in the short term realise larger profits but over the longterm will just turn Steam into what every other public traded company ends up becoming, a soulless profit seeking machine that eventually either kills what made it special in the first place or becomes enough of a monopoly to continue existing just by virtue of its sheer size (EA).

When nobody else is able to do the same thing you are doing, maybe what you are doing is not as easy as people believe.

In the Netherlands there is a bank with the slogun “if you stay normal long enough, you’ll become special”
Valve seems to be doing exactly this.

Keep the company private and hire an ideologically motivated person to run things. Once you go public you eventually ruin it for shareholders.
Make decisions that benefit your customers. Sometimes that means breaking even instead of turning a profit, but you don’t fuck over your customers. Easiest to do when there’s no shareholders to answer to.

It’s called “Fuck around and find now”
Gabe doesn’t fuck around, he doesn’t find out.

Is this about Ghost or did I miss something new?

His business strategy is called: stay a private company.
He doesn’t have the most greedy and vile only want profit investors breathing down his neck and he is a gamer which certainly helps too.
