I love Steam (have 2000 or so games on it) but I realize it is only a matter of time before it gets enshittified.

Maybe, but it's still a private company.

Yeah, there is some hope for as long as Valve isn't publicly traded. It's investors that push companies to care only for short term gains.

Valve is not saintly, they have their own sketchy aspects like how they profit over that cosmetics trading market, but releasing the Steam Deck shows they are still thinking of the long term future of PC gaming.
