See, this is the kind of data collection I'm okay with. When it's to genuinely help make the product I'm using better and not just to line someone's pockets or feed the algorithm.

Valve aren't perfect - they can make mistakes, too - but it fucking shows when someone up top actually cares about what they're doing.

I sincerely hope that Gaben has a worthy prodigy lined up for when he's no longer in charge.

I hope so too, but history has shown us time and again that sequels are usually worse off compared to the originals ;)

Hopefully Gabe can pull off the Terminator 2 of successors, but that just means it'll only be downhill from there.

There are some decent spinoffs, at least!

The second CEO of Valve will be good, but there won't be a third 😔
