      Better yet:

      Dear Gabe Newell,

      Please never die so you can continue running this company as you always have. You make my life as a Linux user much better, and I’ll keep paying you as long as that remains the case.

      There may only be dozens of us, but we love your product. Never change.

      They’re the perfect example of why profitable companies should stay private. They make bonkers money, and if next quarter they make the same amount it’s fine, as opposed to a public company where they only have value if they increase.
