Before we get into the weeds on this one, let me acknowledge the obvious: PC-gaming platform and online store, Steam, needs competition. Valve’s game shop has been the dominant, monopolistic force in PC gaming since its launch in 2003.

I worry about people born in the 21st century. There’s something deep and dark stirring in our collective consciousness. They’re seeing it firsthand. The last generation grew up with at least the pretense of decency, with a sense that “the arc of history bends toward justice.” This decade says morality goes wherever the masses do; if they tug too hard in the wrong direction, the rest of the union gets yanked along by their preoccupations.
