"But but but, my yacht collection? ๐"
~ Gabe Newell

Yeah that is fucking gross.
My criticism of capitalism disappearing the moment I see steam sale.
I mean, if I have to choose who gets my surplus income, I'm more partial to Newell than Bezos, Gates, or Walton.
But it still sucks that these billions don't go straight back to the developers.
Shhhht, you'll make people angry!
Why would people get angry about a relatively benevolent rich guy who's single handedly done more for the Linux ecosystem and gaming than pretty much anyone else?
Is it cause he's rich?
No, they'll get angry at the guy pointing out that one guy they like is actually taking their money to build a yacht collection while they can't imagine ever owning a house.
There are no benevolent rich guy and Linux isn't life, the reason billionaires exist is because we pay more for stuff than they're worth in order to enrich one man at the top of the chain.
The exploitation is baked in the cake
Correction: Linux is life
I think you meant to type "yes."
That's fine, I just like to get everyone on record.
GabeN is evil, we're all on the same page right?
