    My colleague (late 40s) is still like that. Buys only GoG or I guess physical, although it’s mostly codes nowadays anyway? I mean good for him but he misses out on like 80% of games.

    I don’t think Steam will ever die but I hope it won’t fall into enshittification at some point.

      As long as Valve remains a private company, and Gabe remains in charge, I don’t see them getting too shitty.

      But if they go public? Forget about it.

        This is my fear. Gabe won’t last forever, and I don’t know anyone else who has a customer centric approach as he does. Maybe that guy from Costco who threatened to kill someone over the hot dog price.
