no gaben has said that he would rather dissolve the company than giving it to someone else. because he has given so much effort in the compan he dont want someone to ruin all his work

That's Lord Gaben to you, Sunny Jim. :cozyprodman:

Also, there's an heir to the throne.

pretty sure he already has plan so that steam keep selling games just like before after he die.

GabeN has a son who may take over when Lord Gaben is no more.

Maybe they can upload their personality to a computer and run the company like Mr.House, Lucky 38-style.

It doesn't have to he death, it can be simple retirement. Hmm however it's interesting he mention a dissolve rather than a retired advisor role to maintain public confidence.

When that happens, life moves on and we get our games through other source. I'll use epic as I've learnt that it's just a basic launcher and downloader which many big developers have come to rely. Epic have no forums or community till this day so it's just download and play. Microsoft will probably not run it any better.

By dissolving the company, it will most probably kill the magic and reduce csgo skin price to 0. Don't have to worry about transferring the skins. : p

Isn't that what he's doing now? As far as I know, Gabe Newell doesn't have much hands-on involvement with Valve these days.
Hmm if he has already retired, then steam is already reliable, why worry. If he wants to dissolve it, then it might just get a name change, setup by the same current people.

Explain why, Kraken. If you can't, it means your comments are random without credibility. : x
this comment give me nightmare becuase i have invested into skins quite heavily. i dont understand stock market yet so this is the only place where i invest. the point of questioning whether steam will prevail or not was because i was concerned bout my investment. and as you said if skins value goes to i'll be doomed 💀.

If steam breaks up and I lose all my games. Thats probaby the end of me buying digital games. I'll still play them, maybe on my boyfriend's pc, but yeah I'm done. I'll get a new hobby.

worst comes to worst, I'll make my own games.
