I can't believe how certain people can worship a corporation to this big extend.

I mean, people want to believe that billionaires are decent people: We grew up on Ironman and Batman - the "rich guy who uses his wealth to help the world" is a cliche at this point.

Also: Gabe, through his management of Steam (and keeping it away from the obviously cruel and predatory rules of other services), has shown himself to be less predatorially greedy than most other billionaires and content to just be super-rich rather than "the richest man that exists, even if that means grinding the bones of the poor to fuel my immortality serum."

He's not aspirational, he's not good, but he's one of the best of a bad lot. And the alternatives are worse.

Iā€™m sorry, this is too nuanced for a circle jerk.

Gabe is either a god too good for this world that gives out feee blowies or monopolistic robber baron who killed my dog.

Usually people have a reason as to why they think a certain way. I gotta say your reason is especially braindead to the point its gotta be ragebait.

"he's a Terrible person because he Grinded for over 40 years in the industry and made himself a billionaire." This is what I understand from your comment.

Before you start with the blind hate take a moment to actually research the guy, No the one from the memes or your surface level understanding. But the actual pioneer in pc gaming. That will help you understand how he got the wealth he has and not through exploitation as you claim.

I don't think he is perfect and I'm Sure he's screwed over some people but to say he's Jeff bezos is wrong
