Don't forget PC gaming. Steam will keep growing, without even having to try that hard, simply because they:

1. already have their foot in the door

2. are not overwhelmingly hostile towards their customers

Valve can be trusted to maintain its current customer friendly policies only as long as GabeN is in charge and he is approaching retirement age. Perhaps we'll be fortunate and he manages to appoint a successor that has the same vision he had and, then again, perhaps we won't.

Means don't be a stock company or comparable, as you are forced to generate money for the shareholders.
