I really wish the company would talk more about the post-Gabe transition, or at least begin to give us a rough indication of where the company plans to go.

Those of us who have been customers over 20 years often have a pretty significant investment in Steam content, and Gabe is getting old.

AFAIK his son has been working there for quite a while and is the heir apparent.

    I don't know anything about his son, but hopefully "don't screw up your father's legacy" is a core tenet for him. That news gives me slight hope.

No company will ever do that. Even if they did, no one on the planet should expect it to play out as described. The whole anti-DRM position is based on the fact promises aren't worth a damn thing.

    Publicly announced succession plans happen fairly regularly, especially for a company as stable as Valve. Tim Cook is 65 and just did so for Apple. The announcement of Ternus was hardly a bolt from the blue, either. Gabe is 63, and there is little to no indications.
