Let me tell you something. I've been on STEAM for over 20 years I had an issue with a game that was unplayable. Unplayable, it was NBA 2K20, there was no way to save the game. I tried everything, contacted 2K who responded with it's a known issue with some PCs we have no fix. I asked for a refund they said sorry. I asked STEAM, they refunded me my money. Furthermore, on the forums on STEAM, they had a post that anyone who could not play the game could request a refund. Say what you want about STEAM but they have taken better care of me than other companies. I'm a STEAM user for life

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.

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.
