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