The day Gabe dies and pathetic bastards with business degrees take over and ruin everything that's made Steam great for all these years, is the day I begin pirating everything.

Exactly. Steam is a load-bearing member. After seeing what happened to Twitter, Reddit, Unity, Wikia, etc. it's reasonable to think ahead. If Valve gets enshittified that's basically the end of PC gaming.

Good luck, piracy ain’t what it used to be. Denuvo is getting strong af

I don't even play games that have Denuvo. But I'm happy to see many of them remove it after a few years because they can't afford to keep paying for their game to literally be worse and several had been cracked (although it's my understanding that only one person was cracking those games).
