It would probably take some massive PE/VC enforced changes at Valve where they start to enshittify Steam and the loss of confidence in the platform that will follow to make the other platforms competitive.

Make no mistake, it's coming eventually. I held off on trusting discord for years buy finally they won me over. Now look where we are.

Never again.

    Valve has been around since 1996, Steam since 2003

    Discord has been around since 2015 and was funded on VC money.

    Kind of different situations lmao.

    Sure, but once Gabe passes the torch it’s just a matter of if the person(s) getting it gets a big enough blank check to walk away from it

    That's true, but we're not at that point yet so... What is your point? They've managed to thrive as a private corporation up to this point, clearly everyone working there is making bank too and treated well. (From all accounts I've read) so I'd hope the incentive is higher to keep with the same philosophy for whoever comes after. Of course hard to say, can't undercut the greed some people have for making more money then they literally could ever spend.

    I have decided to bite the sour apple, as we say in Sweden, and overpay for the last two hard drives for my NAS build to complete it, then I will grab every offline installer for my games I can find and keep a local copy.

    32TB of storage that can loose two drives before any data loss, a solid start for backups, media and software.
