Dunno what's going on with the Epic folks, but God bless Uncle Gabe. In our messed-up world, Steam is the best thing that could have been. It would be even better if it weren't for those scumbags from Visa and Mastercard. They sure didn't block Epstein's accounts, but they have problems with "bad" games.
I've heard that Valve is not a public company, meaning their shares aren't traded on the stock exchange.
That's why it:
1) Doesn't depend on investor opinion, is resilient to fluctuations from global events. For example, when BLM happened and America was on fire, companies immediately started demonstrating "their" (no) stance in various ways to avoid their stocks dropping. Valve didn't need that, so we don't see BLM banners, or rainbow ones, or any others in the app.
2) Isn't obligated to report quarterly to investors about profit growth, or come up with various monetization schemes for that purpose, etc.
3) Grandpa Gabe is categorically against going public, both now and in the future.
In general, mark my words, Steam will only go downhill when Valve goes public.
