  • People saying that when Gabe dies so does Steam seem to be missing a piece of the puzzle.

    From everything I’ve read and can tell they work using an ESOP (Employee Stock Ownership Program). Meaning each employee working there today is becoming partial owners in Valve. If you think they will allow some new face to show up when Gabe dies and flip the table you are missing the piece where the owners of this company are extremely well compensated today and a core part of making Valve successful today.



















  • Makes sense that linux doesn’t quite fit the no fuss gaming setup, but I’m curious, would you say Windows fits the no fuss gaming setup today?

    Part of what drove me away was my infrequent gaming on Windows led to everytime I went to play games having windows demanding updates that would be end with spamming me about Microsoft products I’ve declined 1000 times before. Then updates to the games themselves. It was slowly turning me into a console gamer as I felt the only low/no fuss environment for gaming was a PS5.

    Linux definitely requires the time/energy to keep things playing smoothly, but IMO so does Windows, just in very unproductive ways.
