So when you said "break up Steam" you didn't mean it in the usual, anti-monopoly sense where bits of a company are spun out into independent entities or sold off?

You meant let everything be done by enthusiasts and have it kinda interoperable?

I'm not against that, but I think there are bigger dragons of capitalism to slay first before we hope that splitting forums off of Steam doesn't send them the way of the IMDB forums.
