Steam is a last bastion of integrity. Given the present timeline, it will probably be bought out by EA.

Gabe has stated several times that as long as he is running things he will never go public and let it get ruined like that.

Once he's gone though I suspect steam will sell for 18 quintillion dollars to Microsoft or something.

It'll probably go to shit immediately afterwards.

And this is why we shouldn’t rely on steam to be the one and only saviour. GoG and pirating is needed so we can make sure we can enjoy our games in the future.

The problem with gog, is that it's owned by CD project red...and they are publicly traded
