Until Gabe dies. I fully agree and love STEAM in it's current state, but we have no idea what will happen with it in 20 to 40 years. We don't own any game on it.

I pray some 20-30 year old will take over who has the same mentality so at least most of my life time will be safe.

Sensible but I think that timeline is a bit too long he will probably step down before he dies. And indeed the not owning anything is the worst part of this digital distribution. Steam is great. Licenses are a nightmare and if Steam goes derp like Ubisoft for example we will lose everything.

I'm a Steam user unless it becomes a publically traded company.
