    Agreed. Have been on Steam for almost 19 years. Nothing has really degraded as far as the service goes, and Valve’s approach to listening to community feedback is good. We’ve saw controversy, mainly Paid Mods and CS:GO gambling, both have been taken care of for the most part due to community pushback. I can’t think of a controversy that has made me want to leave the service though. With Reddit, it was a slow decline to its death on July 1st.

          I’m imaginging you emulating a bunch of retro win10 games on your future-pc 30 years from now. Smart way of doing it though: why pay of the DRM version when you can actually own the game?

        This is easily the main concern when it comes to Steam. A strong leadership can largely mitigate the ill effects of capitalism, but once said leadership goes away, it becomes a profiteering free-for-all.
