While many accuse Valve of monopolising the PC gaming market, others argue that Steam's dominance is simply the result of doing things right.

      As long Valve doesn’t become publicly traded they will be fine. The problems start when companies optimize for shareholder value rather than customer value.

      Maybe. I’ve heard Gabe’s son is set to take over when the time comes, hopefully he’s been raised right.

        Hmm. The founder’s son usually just squeezes the company for profit.

            points to all of human history

            Maybe this will be one of the exceptions. At least I hope so.
