(maybe I should just read the full article, but it's so long...) From what I understood, no. He's still the CEO, he's just not the majority shareholder any longer. Yeah something like this probably. Hes still the man in charge but he might have to run some ideas past a board of directors (of sorts) to receiving funding for this or that
This is just me guessing but it doesnt sound like hes stepping down as the man behind it all just yet

So... Do EG players all get Amazon prime accounts forever now or what?
Hope this works out well for all involved, many grats.

People just skipping half the pages.

Gotta love Alex Garfield. He's done so much for the industry that when he steps down from it we should name a prize, a championship or something in his behalf.
His reasons are valid as well, gotta grow somehow and the fact that he didn't sell excluvise rights to other streaming site because he though it would devalue their work, and that of his players makes it seem he has the right motive.
All the luck to then, and I do REALLY think STEAM launching competition may have expedited this deal a LOT. When someone the size of Steam and Valve wants a pie of your profits, you HAVE to do something to stay relevant.
