    Valve is that perfect example of being just shitty enough to be annoying without stepping over the line into complete enshittification. But this too will happen. I reckon there’d be good odds of it happening not long after Gabe retires.

      That’s my main worry, and why I’d never want a monopoly of any sort with contemporary hierarchical structures.
