I love steam, but let's get real here for a second. Valve will change some day. Enshitification is inevitable.
GabeN will not live forever. The vultures circle endlessly, and one day they will win. There is no good ending here (for now).
Consider building a tower, downloading everything youve purchased on steam, and keep it offline. Maybe have a 2nd set of hard drives as a backup. Put these priceless artifacts in your will.
Plan accordingly and enjoy the ride while it lasts.
Sure, but hopefully that's a very long time away, and there's always piracy. Hopefully Gabe lasts for another 20 years or longer. Hopefully he has a high-quality person as a successor.
steam survey says 1.92% is on linux. So there's about 736,651 linux users on steam?! neat
Damn, you reply quick. yep, I realized the instant i asked and felt stupid, eheh.
basically yeah, covid-19 ontop of console shortage and people getting more free time/unemployment checks boosted the PC space a lot.
I remember when 9 million was a lot.
I remember when 1 million was a lot.
I honestly thought the number of concurrent users was a lot higher a lot longer ago, but either way, it's come a long way since ~2003?
