I don’t think we have anything to worry about with Steam. It’s privately held, so they aren’t bound by investors or shareholders squeezing them to wring out infinite growth and ROI every quarter
Gabe passing away doesn’t inherently mean anything. Gabe is very smart and I’m sure he’s picked his “heir” to the Valve/Steam business very very carefully. He’s had a wonderful vision of PC Gaming for the last few decades and I doubt he’d pick some bean counter just looking to wring wallets in the way every other company does.

The bus factor of that is 1 though. If Gabe Newell gets hit by a bus all bets are off.
