Currently, 50-70% of PC games worldwide are distributed through Steam.
It has a monopoly structure in the enormous gaming industry, but fortunately, Valve is a privately held company.
Because CEO Gabe Newell is a user-friendly person, game users’ trust in Steam is very high despite various controversies in the game industry.
However, if Gabe Newell dies, will someone else take his place and run the same user-friendly operation?
Operating a platform with astronomical value like Steam like Gabe is difficult for businessmen who prioritize profits.
Steam, which has a monopoly, is operated very inefficiently.
Of course, since he was born in 1962, he is not yet at a worrying age and is said to be taking good care of his health, so it is not a problem.
Gabe Newell’s death was clearly expected to have a big impact on the gaming industry.
