If you wonder why public companies with billions in revenue can’t make a Steam competitor is because they can’t think long term, being a private company allows Valve to just work on what they want and grow If they need to
Good joke. Investors will see wasted financial potential and make valve do it.
When you have external money you now also have away part of a platform. And the investors don’t care. Make number big fast. Nobody there is caring about long term

Exactly this! I dread the day they go public :(
Well they can, but only in one way: Grow by selling at a loss to outcompete other and then make a profit.
Even if Valve was public, Steam makes so much goddamn money that putting ads on the platform would only cheapen it.
