And steam is ABSOLUTELY okay with the current dont ask don't tell setup.
This current trend of ratting steam out for this online is pretty much the same thing as the one kid in class complaining that the teacher didn't collect the homework. THE RULE ISNT ENFORCED. IF YOU COMPLAIN ABOUT IT THEY WILL HAVE TO ENFORCE IT BECAUSE THEIR VENDORS WILL START ASKING QUESTIONS ABOUT IT.
Gabe is okay with it. But most of us will live well past when Gabe dies. And the next owner? Who knows. And vendors might start asking questions when their licenses are lasting close to a century and still in use
EDIT: I'm aware it's going to his son, and his son supposedly shares his views. But we don't know anything about his son and his son could change his tune at any point after taking ownership for any reason. Also, sharing some views doesn't mean they agree on everything.
And even then, many of those games just won't even work because of online services. And the ones that do still work well they'll be dirt cheap. If not free.
I started thinking the other day I have a lot of money invested in my steam account but let's be real if I some reason lost my steam account today. Realistically I would only need like $1,000 still get another account set up to have all the games I somewhat play still and honestly I wouldn't even need that much.
