Tim Sweeney emailed Gabe Newell calling Valve 'you assholes' over Steam policies, to which Valve's COO replied internally 'you mad bro?' (www.pcgamer.com)

I'd love it if they had a comparable service, because competition is good for the consumer, but they just don't.

Steam has had a relative monopoly for two decades, and we're lucky they've been customer friendly. But if something were to happen to Gabe, or Valve decided to go public or something, we're screwed.

When Gabe dies, we're SO fucked.

There will be a time where Gabe will no longer be there. Hopefully someone as good as him is ready to fight the good fight.

I wonder if Gabe would go as far as doing a Halliday move like in ready player one.

I feel like that's a bad idea cause it's gonna be a sweaty cheater that would crack the thing and fuck everyone up.

Unless the puzzle is in the one place you can't just download cheats for: real life. The only cheats you get in reality are rich parents.

Jeff Bozos, Melon Husk, Sam Alternator, and Zark Muckerberg gonna hired a bunch of people to crack the puzzle and it will just be a show where 4 of them compete, the rest of us peasant will be irrelevant.

The fact that everyone else is shit isn’t Valves problem, it’s theirs.

And we are fucked when something eventually changes with Valve, but we’d have been fucked this whole time without them.
