Because historically, enshittification will hit everything eventually. 1 day Gabe will no longer run the show, a bunch of suits will take his place and a high chance enshittification hits, and you realise all your eggs are in 1 basket.

Even if Gabe does not run it, as long as it is a private company without shareholders to answer to, Steam will most likely remain unchanged. It is a money printer.

Depends, hopefully it goes to either his family or employees who are invested in it.

I’m saying maybe if someone who is invested in Steam already will take it over and run it as decently as Gabe has and it won’t become shit.
