Steam keeps on winning (www.pcgamer.com)

From the opinion piece:

Last year, I pointed out how many big publishers came crawlin' back to Steam after trying their own things: EA, Activision, Microsoft. This year, for the first time ever, two Blizzard games released on Steam: Overwatch and Diablo 4.

Hopefully they have some sort of transition plan for who will take over when Gabe retires. As long as they hand the reigns over to someone with similar ideas and not some business type they could be fine given they are privately owned.

Has there been any news at all on who the potential successors are?

Read somewhere that his son who has a similar philosophy was going to take over

First time hearing about this. Hope it works out.

Because nepotism usually works out amazingly and never goes badly. /s

I looked it up and apparently Gray Newell doesn't work at Valve, so it's actually unlikely that he's going to be the successor.

So steam is a family owned company?
