    Steam. I think a lot of people are unappreciative of how user friendly and open it is. When Gabe bites the dust I think it’s going to get very shit very quick.

      Yeah when hes gone it will go the way of ea and ubisoft, no question. There’s so much untapped market there. First thing will be steam subscriptions. Starting at 10 dollars a month. Then limiting your game downloads to 2 per month so no installing and uninstall ing as you wish.

      Mark my words. Prepare to leave steam.

        The risk is real, but it depends. If it goes pubic it’s all over. If it stays private or worker-owned it stands a chance.
