Really wish Valve or at least Steam became a steward owned company to save it from future owners ruining it.

Would be cool.

But honestly, since I'm a Linux user and Valve has invested in Linux gaming, I'll stick with them for now. If they violate my trust, I'll move to GOG or something. In fact, now that Heroic gets a cut from GOG sales, I'm buying some of my games there, just to indicate to GOG that there's interest.

If a competitor comes along, I'll use them. But for now, Steam is the best option for me, so I'm rewarding them.
