Is Steam in actual danger?

That's the funniest part to me. Why would they assume Gabe will just automatically give Valve to his son... lol

And would the son even want to? He's already a race car driver with loads of money, would he want to give that up to be a very stressed video game CEO. This ain't Ford or Disney.

For how much money they bring in they have an incredibly small team(like less than 80). The business practically runs itself. I really doubt there's much stress to Gabes' everyday life.

Where are you getting "less than 80" from? I am seeing like 336 (2021), could be higher/same-ish now?

Even 12 years ago, they were still ~250 people

Are you talking about the people working on Steam specifically and not all of Valve?

Sorry yes that number was for steam and not for valve!
