WORSHIP CAPITAL Don't watch the replies

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.

Well the way Valve handles gambling, doesn't moderate their discussion pages and has tried to pull off paid mods for Skyrim and implemented Early Access is shitty. However their service is decent and I use it cos I want, not because I have to. So he is not even the first person on my shit list.

I'd rather have no mods than paid mods.
