Nah, I'm willing to bet HL3 will come out (at the latest) 5 years after Gaben's death. Not because he's witholding it, obviously, but because whoever comes next will probably try to make as much money as possible and that's an easy first way to do it.
It's gonna suck when Steam immediately enshitifies to the max after he dies.
Yeah, fully expecting that to happen. I wish that guy a long and healthy life and there isn't an ounce of altruism in that statement.
Any containment plans for when Steam joins the club of shit eventually?
Die, I guess
I'm still holding out hope that Valve becomes a worker-owned coop when Gaben goes. Internally they've been structured that way for years, without traditional "management," everyone having moving desks where they work on whatever they feel motivated by and most useful at, etc.
Forgot about Valve taking a giant 30% cut and making thousands of people gambling addicts?
