Valve "played capitalism so well they broke it" and now Steam can never be replaced, former Epic dev says: "I don't think this is fixable"
One could try offering a good service, for example.
Dunno what's up with Epic, but God bless Uncle Gaben. 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 at Visa and Mastercard. They sure didn't block Epstein's accounts, but they have problems with "bad" games.
Небо – мольбы не ждёт Небо – угроз не слышит Небо – ведёт особый счёт Небо – тебя найдёт
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.

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.
В тихой однообразной жизни всегда так бывает: каждый отдельный день бесконечно долог, но месяцы и годы мчатся с непостижимой быстротой.

Смысл жизни в том, что жизнь на тебе не заканчивается
A normal free market: some entity offers certain services or goods, and if customers find them needed and useful, the entity makes money, and customers get a good product. Exchange crap: some entity tries to screw over its customers, saving as much as possible on its employees and product quality, so that random guys who don't even use the brand themselves and have no plans to, get their little penny.
First, we'll create a banking system like that so businesses have no chance to get start-up capital or grow, thereby pushing owners ourselves to sell us their business in shares, and in the end, through media we own and pocket politicians, we'll start speculating with the prices of that same business on the market, shifting money from one of our pockets to another with a multiplier. The question is, who are we and what should be done with us again? — for the answer, Nebo will ban you.
