    Ok, and how many of those points would be improved by going public?

    People want sequels because they trust value to to them justice, not roll out stale cookie cutter versions like FIFA etc.

    Would investors demand that valve take a smaller cut, or would they demand they take a bigger one in future?

    Would they cut support for older games?

    Would they add ads to the overlays?

    Would you then be able to get “Steam Premium” for an ad free experience?

    Please let me know what bit of steam’s business model would be improved by them constantly chasing a higher profit every quarter?

      Pardon? Thats literally what they are doing by hoarding their wealth instead of investing it in products and changes.

      And what’s all this goalpost moving about public companies?
