“Can you believe this guy built a billion-dollar company with AI?”

No. No I cannot.

I don’t think we give enough weight to just how devastating smallpox was to humanity.

Until we eradicated it, smallpox killed an estimated 500 million people. It continuously killed people from Ancient Egyptian Pharaohs all the way to people in the 1980s. Smallpox collapsed whole civilizations. Eradicating it imo is one of humanity’s greatest victories.

For perspective:

• The highest estimate for Spanish Flu deaths is 100 million.
• Bubonic plague killed an estimated 25 million.
• WW1 killed 22 million.
• WW2 killed 50 million.

The enshittification of Steam would really sting and significantly harm PC gaming as a whole.

As GabeN ages, I really worry about the day when he finally hands control of that company over, because as soon as ROI becomes their primary objective, it’s game over.

Prioritizing the experience and quality of the platform over profit maximization has actually earned them more money in the long run as they’ve slowly snowballed over all their competitors. I really hope the new stewards understand this and genuinely love gaming as a whole as it seems a lot of decision-makers at Valve currently do.

Over 20 years, easy. I started my PC life as a Mac user, switched to Windows for gaming, then switched to Linux for freedom. VLC has followed me the whole way and been a must-install since the first time I used it.

My mouth got grainy just reading this.
