    I fear that there will never be another company like Steam

    • Doesn’t make unnecessary changes to their UI
    • Private, without public shareholders
    • Has virtually no PR; community does it for them
    • Takes the side of the people over publishers
    • Has a sound refund policy

    I’m afraid when Gabe dies, the culture of “does nothing but still wins” will die along with him.

      Steam is a prime example of how long a product/service can actually last when you’re not constantly changing the product/service. Funny how when you don’t change a product and keep service great, it doesn’t seem to go through enshitiffication. What are the odds…?
