There’s no chance GabeN sells Steam. It prints money and only looks to increase their profitability over the coming years.
Microsoft can’t buy them anyways at this point I think. The regulatory bodies didn’t like ActiBlizzard, and this would be similar scale, if not larger
I do worry about what might happen when he gets too old/decides to step down though.
If Microsoft did somehow end up buying them I might have to just nope out of gaming altogether. Or just take to the high seas I guess.
At that point I'll probably too old and have lost interest in gaming anyway, so I'll just let the next generation of gamers figure it out themselves. Kinda like boomers leaving us to deal with high property price problem because it's no longer their concern anymore.
Nah it's still their concern too. They're mostly just on the beneficial side of it.
