To be fair, a lot of monopolies are great in the beginning. It's the inevitable power-tripping downslide that sucks.

I still love Steam and Valve though.

The only reason this hasnt happened with valve is because it's a private company. Publically traded companies are the cancer of ou society tbh

Not disagreeing, but I think the point is that no single person or company should be in a position of that much power. All it takes is for one thing to go wrong, one law to change, or one financial scare to happen, and BOOM. Suddenly this great monopoly is doing things people hate and there's no alternative.

Well and GaBeN is still alive.

He need to find a successor before his time

From what I've heard, his son is cool, so we might get two generations of awesome steam.

Laughs in Rockefeller and standard oil

Steam is a private company and being run by a decent human. Didn't have to be both.
