    I like Steam because they are more upfront about what you get when you “buy” a game, but I don’t want Steam to become a mega corpo that has tentacles in every technological industries just like Google or Microsoft.

    They still are a company first and foremost, and Gaben isn’t eternal. Their attitude can change as fast as getting a new CEO when Gaben steps down.

    Nothing good comes out of a mega corpo getting bigger, and we have many examples of that.

        Yes, but not by another mega corpo that tries to get into everything.

        I mean, the real problem is that Alphabet and Apple should be dismantled in littles companies by anti-trust laws. Adding another third big player will only add another corpo to the duopoly.
