gabe is a very smart person, if he doesnt have a post death plan for steam i would be immensely surprised.

The fact he is doing research on BCIs, I like to imagine his plan is digitizing himself so he can live forever on the net.

Honestly, I've been weaning myself off Steam for awhile now. It's great what they did to make PC gaming more accessible, but I also feel like Steam itself is an unnecessary dependency for most video games.

There should be protocols that games can implement to integrate with launchers and organize playing online.

I imagine, over time, when GoG gets enough support someone will build a solid localhost launcher that integrates with their downloaded files.
