I also enjoy actually owning the games I buy and being able to play them whenever I want, even when the site is down for maintenance every fucking Tuesday.
>>
>>739207443
Hmm it's Tuesday evening I sure would like to sit down and play some - NOPE!
>>
>>739207698
The old console doesn't stop existing.
>>
>>739207921
Yes, because you sold it to buy a new console.

Do you...keep every single console you purchase? That's sad.

I'm curious to see what happens when Gaben dies. As far as I know Valve is a private company. So even if his son(he has one I right?) inherits it and runs the company well who's to say his son's successor will be just as capable? Or even willing to take over the company in the first place?
Valve is enjoying a lot of success now but I feel like it's future is a lot less stable than it's competitors.

>thinking anything will happen when Epic, Blizzard, EA, and other game stores exist just fine without a benevolent leader
>>
>>739209520
Those companies can continue on existing with no problem because they are not private companies.
>>
>>739209878
That makes no sense except to a retard.
>>
Do you guys think Tim waits for steam to go down then prays it never comes back up
>>
>>739209520
>Epic
Tim
>Blizzard and EA
they exist as gaming companies but as stores they are definitely a non entity compared to Steam who has revolutionized the pc gaming landscape since its inception. Blizzard really only has battle.net but Steam has since then far surpassed it when it comes to player interconnectivity.
>>
>>739209904
A private company lives or dies by the person in charge. When there is no successor or the successor doesn't give a shit the company is fucked. With publicly traded companies it doesn't really matter who's in charge because all of them want the line to go up. Some successors might fuck up here and there but the company will never not have the next one ready.
Gabe's son doesn't want anything to do with Valve. So who's going to be in charge when Gabe inevitably dies?
Either the company dies or Gabe sells it. I don't really see any other option for him.

your daily reminder that having children is a meme
>>
>>739208867
He has several children. The company will either go to one or be split amonst them. He has probably raised them to understand that if they continue on the current trajectory in terms of how it's run, it will continue to print free money for them for the rest of their lives and their children's lives. He has probably warned them over selling to jews or changing the policy/culture of steam. It's in the air if they will listen, but we can hope that they will simply continue gaben's legacy and that it will remain the same
>>
>>739211113
Children are not required to continue the dynasties of their parents. If he wants to do something else then he is free to do so.

Those stores are garbage compared to Steam. That's the problem.

been thinking...
what if that has been a psyop, son says he wants nothing to do with it only to see who will actually jew out the company once gaben bites it, but in reality he really wants to continue his fathers legacy to the fullest, this way he can cull any parasites

>>739211571
No. I am not going to give you a grandchild just because you ask. I am not your slave.

The kid wants to be a race car driver or some shit. It's ogre.

>>739208023
You mom sold the stuff you treasured as a kid and now you're coping and convinced yourself that this is somehow good and acceptable didn't you?
>>
>>739212180
like thats mutually exclusive
i love driving cars, racing sims and wanted to be a pro rally driver but i still wanna own a company and play vidya
ACTUALLY an even better example is saying well gabe wants to explore the seas and be on a yacht all the time so he cant actually be owner of Valve
