Man I hope he lives to a 100 at least, why am I always late to the party, I learn about Limewire and it dies the next year, I get access to my sister's Netflix account and Netflix goes to shit, I'm finally able to afford a gaming laptop and buy Steam games and now I'm too busy and tired from work to play them and Gabe is getting older. I wish I could go back in time and do things differently

My understanding is that gaben has already put an action plan in place for when the company moves on from his leadership.

From what I've heard of it, the people in line behind Gabe will be upholding the same values.

We should have at least another ~40 years or more of this before sometimes entitled brat inherits the company and sells it off to a foreign interest.

With all that being said: long live gaben.

Gaben is gonna be the first person to digitally upload their consciousness.

Sure, the 2 constants in the universe are Entropy and Enshitification. When Steam turns to shit I'll go back to Piracy just like I did when Netflix went to shit.

My point is that companies don't have to be shit about account sharing and family plans, and people don't have to accept it.

It's mostly that a feature on it went from "okayish" to "far more consumer-friendly", which was incredibly unexpected of them to do. Everyone figured Steam library sharing would die but instead they roll out Family that has far looser restrictions than the system they'd had for over a decade.

Can't play the same game at the same time unless both own it, and DLC isn't shared, but my partner being able to play anything I own that I'm not playing is pretty rad of a positive change.

Meanwhile Nintendo's system got worse instead.

It's pretty fantastic! In the past, you could share a library, and playing any game from that library would lock the entire library so others couldn't use it at the same time. Today, that is loosened up and is much nicer to use.
