Never say never, but I don't think it's going to happen while Gabe is in charge

I doubt gabe would choose a successor that would make steam public either, though.

Maybe, maybe not. As equity holders get older they may be looking to cash out so they can fuel their retirements.

I don't think that's something Gabe is interested in, but we're talking about what will happen when he dies.
