Newell remained magisterially above the fray.

    I’d love it if they had a comparable service, because competition is good for the consumer, but they just don’t.

    Steam has had a relative monopoly for two decades, and we’re lucky they’ve been customer friendly. But if something were to happen to Gabe, or Valve decided to go public or something, we’re screwed.

      The fact that everyone else is shit isn’t Valves problem, it’s theirs.

      And we are fucked when something eventually changes with Valve, but we’d have been fucked this whole time without them.

        There will be a time where Gabe will no longer be there. Hopefully someone as good as him is ready to fight the good fight.

        I wonder if Gabe would go as far as doing a Halliday move like in ready player one.

        I feel like that’s a bad idea cause it’s gonna be a sweaty cheater that would crack the thing and fuck everyone up.
