There is factually no such thing as a good billionaire, and to pretend it’s an opinion based thing is just yet more lickspittle behavior.
There are less bad ones, but you cannot become a billionaire without hurting a shitload of people. It’s arguable that valve has been a terrible thing for pc gaming since it’s led to the death of ownership. But this is one of quite literally thousands of things that can be litigated in his case.
Update- this is like saying “in my opinion, donald trump is the best president we’ve ever had.” You can think this, it can be your opinion, but it’s wrong, and tells people a lot about who you are. Sticking up for billionaires is one of the more pathetic things a person can do.
I don’t see how Gaben hurt anyone. I don’t think that Gaben is a bad billionaire. Unlike you I understand how people have different views and understand that everyone has a different interpretation of what “good” and “bad” means.
No, but I definitely have knowledge of what you don’t.
Look, suck up all you want, but there just is no good billionaires. There are ones where the goals are temporarily aligned, but to think that any of them do what they do for the benefit of others is just a moronic take. Some probably started that way but ALL billionaires alive do what they do for themselves, their own power and control. Gabe is better than most, but he’s still on the list and has done many terrible things. Valve is better than most gaming companies, but it’s still a DRM platform that has no customer support and dictates how the industry has to bend to their will.
I can tell you haven’t done your research because there are many stories of valve fucking people over, and again, valve is arguably a net negative for gaming in general due to how it’s completely destroyed the idea of ownership. We all only have access to our shit due to their good graces. I personally hate having thousands of dollars of things I’ve paid for, controlled by one single company (I too used to assume they were the good ones).

Wtf are you on about? Valve has the best customer support for any gaming company. Looks like you didn’t do your research.
All in all you can hate how much you want, but Gaben isn’t an evil or bad billionaire. If you think he is, than fine, it is your definition of what good and evil means. This discussion is meaningless, because you don’t care what I think. You have your opinion and everyone has to believe your opinion and definition.
Sigh, steam has zero support, like actually none and it’s well known in the industry. It’s 100% a drm platform, you must have an internet connection and a valid account to play your games that you purchased. You only have access to any of them because they allow it.
Again, I don’t care about your opinion because it’s wrong, and I will judge it the same as I judge people who have other similarly bad opinions. I do wish you would realize that your idea of a good billionaire is bullshit, but that’s to protect you from falling for the shit they are peddling. No skin off my nose if you choose to continue to suck up to them.
I will stand by my original statement that there is no such thing as a good billionaire. It’s this statement that I’m defending and your “nuh-uh, he’s really cool” has done nothing to convince me otherwise.
You are walking away with the opinion that there are good billionaires who have your best interests in mind. I meant that’s an opinion, just a really stupid one.

Because you don’t do much research outside of the ways that it’s impacted you.
You have no knowledge of what I research.
No, but I definitely have knowledge of what you don’t.

Everyone has their own opinion, values and views. And that’s a good thing.
lol, good for those in power maybe.

I’ll be fine here in the actual world.
