According to tipster @Grummz, "progressive people" have entered Steam, including some management and game developers, who are pushing V and Steam to become more and more "woke".

"Currently, some progressive executives and developers are pushing Valve and Steam to be more conscious.
I've talked to people inside Valve, and there are definitely some progressive people pushing for everything. So far, the two sides have maintained a balance.
I'm really worried about Steam once Gabe retires. "

Some industry insiders and players are worried that once Gabe retires or fades out of day-to-day management, the progressive voices within Valve may quickly become dominant, which will have a potential impact on Steam's future content review, policy guidance, and even the freedom of game distribution.
In this regard, one netizen believes that if Steam is dominated by progressive and awakening people, then games that lack DEI will not be allowed to be put on the shelves, resulting in no platform for selling games. It is recommended that Musk acquire V after G Fat retires.
However, it would be too difficult for Musk to acquire Valve, and it is almost impossible in reality. The key is that Valve is a private company that strongly resists external capital, has highly concentrated ownership, and has a unique culture. Unless Gabe himself nods, no one can accept it.

Netizen: G Fat is the spiritual representative of V. If he leaves, V will become another company.
