Does PC gaming die with GabeN?

The second he dies and someone not as principled as him takes the wheel, be it an heir or a corporation, the service will enshitify and that'll be the slow death of the only service keeping PC gaming alive.

it ends with torrents having 0 seeders

DOH!

no
piracy is still a thing

And it sucks
Niggas only seed basic bitch garbage, direct download sites want me to pay and fitgirl wants me to believe his installers making my fans to into max mode is normal

It's a private company. The shareholders besides Gabe are all veteran employees who are among the highest paid people in the entire industry. There's very little incentive to enshittify.

>>738776438
Depends on what you mean by keeping PC gaming alive

jk I already know you already mean by consuming the latest slop that's being pushed out by corpos, and that you are a worthless consumer that can't participate in anything grass roots or outside of what's constantly being updated/played by thousands, so I actually kinda look forward to the day that everything goes to shit on the front-facing circuit so that you either get filtered out entirely or kill yourself

Tell that to private trackers. I seed all my torrents, I have good internet, but because I'm not trans I will never get into a private tracker.

private but still ran by retards, it's the ran by retards part that matters not the public/private part, it's just that private retardation usually fails since they have to get money through work which they are too incompetent to do and as such they close down and get forgotten and only the good private companies live on skewing the perception and making some people think it's the private part that makes the difference

I think you get in trouble for seeding stuff if you're in a first world country

Why are steamies so mentally ill?
Steam is already at the evry end of pure garbage. No other drm launcher is filled with fucking gambling and bloat like streamer popups when you open a store page that no one ever fucking uses and this shitty rotten company worshipped by the most braindead turd wolrd monkeys sure as hell is not making any fucking games in 20 years.
This is literally the endgame of any company. Do no work, have no risk because zero creative output but get to lech 30% tax of every game purchase by default while pushing unregulated gambling in gaas slop and prevent anyone by contract to have actual good and better sales on other platforms.

Fuck you and fuck brainwashed corpo fandrones like you.

Gabe isn't a businessman, we all forget that. He was a Windows developer at Microsoft that liked games. He didn't go to business school. He's not obsessed with number go up at all costs. He refused to publicly trade Valve, he doesn't have one external shareholder to fuck with him.

If you let one businessman touch Valve, it'll be fucked in a month. They don't like games. They don't like people. They don't like anything but bank account number go up. They will cut everything good back to its bare minimum. They will remove games that "don't get purchased enough". They sure as fuck won't sell you hardware at a loss.

They will drive it into the ground. Sell it to a competitor and walk away. Then no games for anyone.

Oh no the horrors when Gaben dies and all those lootbox games goes down! What will we do?
>>
>Valve doesn't care about money
meanwhile most of their games are INFESTED with the most god awful microtransactions and gambling in the entire industry. But I guess according to VaIvedrones this is just for fun because they don't care about money?

That would limit me to stuff made for the NES.
Not bad, not great.

That's pretty good, the NES had some of the best games of the 8-bit era.

Consolefags have no idea how PCs work, it's insane.
Let me explain: on a PC, you can program your own game. Yeah, it sounds like "magic" to people who only use consoles, but computers are way more versatile than those closed-off computers, which are basically corporate black boxes, make them seem (I'm talking about consoles of course). That's why a single website specializing in hentai games has more games available for purchase right now than the entire library of every console from the PS3 generation and earlier. Because any motherfucker can make a game on a PC.
PC games will never die because of that.
