I love steam. I'm okay with the monopoly until it stops protectecting its users.

[–] GregorGizeh@lemmy.zip 33 points 6 months ago (1 children)

The reason steam has managed to remain consistently relevant and beloved by its users is for sure the fact that it is not a public company, but owned by nerds and the people working there. Makes for a great employee retention, and without being hounded by shareholders they can operate properly and with long term plans.

Yep. If they ever go public, we're all fucked. Shareholders and quarterly reports ruin everything.

Was thinking the same thing. If steam goes public and gaben moves on to whatever, enshittification will begin.

God, hopefully someone else can take up the torch if that ever happens.

Yeah. Part of me is uneasy with the monopoly, but unless they start abusing it I don't think there's really a problem. Besides, they're not the same as a railway: nothing's stopping a game company from directly providing executable downloads, and some do.
