The 'enshittification' of the Steam games platform is inevitable, and there are already warning signs.

    Eventually, the bomb will go off, and the full ‘enshittification’ of Steam will commence. There will be competitors ready to take its place, but the current reluctance to embrace any Steam alternatives right now makes me worry that even a malicious Valve could keep a stranglehold on the PC as a software platform for years.

    I didn’t find this conclusion well supported by the evidence presented

      Valve’s faults are very well documented but I don’t understand the ticking time bomb reference at all.

      I absolutely appreciate all of Valve’s Linux efforts. Linux wouldn’t be thriving as a gaming platform without them.
