On one hand Billionaires should not exist, on the other hand I have nothing bad to say about the guy. Steam is the defacto game store and according to American corporate MBA logic they should be racing to be a parasitic enshitified dumpster fire, but they're not.

As for Newell himself, the guy is 63 years old and doesn't have anyone with a serious problem or accusation with him. Even if he had lawyers lock a transgression down with a big bag of money and a titanium grade NDA, that stuff never truly stays quiet. Still radio silence. Only thing I got is my resentment that apparently no one in that entire fucking company can count to 3.

Steam is already enshittified, you’re just not the one being screwed. I don’t think there’s any other store on PC that takes cut as big as Steam does.

Indeed. I am confident there is no one else still at the 30% rate.
