It's inevitable.

But if steam becomes enshittified I'll move onto something else and use torrent sites to download the older games I care about that I've bought on steam. It wouldn't really be pirating them, since I've bought them already.

For now steam is fine, and I appreciate the work they've done on supporting Linux, so I'll keep on using it to buy games.
