We all know the struggle of beloved services slowly going downhill. What’s one service, tool, or website you’ve been using for years that’s still great and hasn’t turned to crap?

Yeah when hes gone it will go the way of ea and ubisoft, no question. There's so much untapped market there. First thing will be steam subscriptions. Starting at 10 dollars a month. Then limiting your game downloads to 2 per month so no installing and uninstall ing as you wish.

Mark my words. Prepare to leave steam.

The risk is real, but it depends. If it goes pubic it's all over. If it stays private or worker-owned it stands a chance.

Definitely best to keep steam away from the pubics
