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.
Enshitification usually happens because Wall Street demands infinite growth. I don’t see how that applies to Valve as a privately owned enterprise. If anything the complaint with Valve is that they only work on stuff they feel like working on and nothing more. If what you want isn’t something they care about you’re SOL.
Private companies still face pressure to perform from externalities including private funding and board demands.
