I trust Gabe. I just don't trust whoever takes over after him.

Hopefully Gabe sets up a trust to oversee the future benevolent development of PC gaming

I trust him to have a good plan in place for when he's gone honestly.

Reminder that the 30% steam tax is absolutely greed. Gabe is a libertarian and charges it because he can get away with it. It makes games worse by affecting the equation measuring what is profitable to make. Gabe doesn't care about that, and that should be taken into account when considering if you actually trust him.

State your reasoning. Because I’ve seen many developers defending the 30% steam tax.

Considering that they offer full online support without the dev need to host it themselfs, for only 100, the server costs come from somewhere
