I fear that there will never be another company like Steam

  • Doesn't make unnecessary changes to their UI
  • Private, without public shareholders
  • Has virtually no PR; community does it for them
  • Takes the side of the people over publishers
  • Has a sound refund policy

I'm afraid when Gabe dies, the culture of "does nothing but still wins" will die along with him.

Steam is a prime example of how long a product/service can actually last when you're not constantly changing the product/service. Funny how when you don't change a product and keep service great, it doesn't seem to go through enshitiffication. What are the odds...?
