      He hasn’t enshittified anything yet, and it’s looking like he might not ever, which is why people respect him.

      There’s valid criticisms, yes, but that meme is dead accurate. I don’t want to imagine what gaming would look like today if someone like EA the same vast influence over the industry instead of Valve.

        Ok, but if people like him didn’t exist would we even have enshittification? In my view things get enshittified so someone who’s probably already well off can “earn” them and other rich people more money. I thought we were mostly all in agreement here that there are no good billionaires.

      As far as billionaires go, he’s the least shit of the bunch. No idea what his personal life is like, and I don’t want to know. Every billionaire that makes their personal life public so far has turned out to be a giant cunt.

        Every one of them whose personal life goes public is a giant cunt because you have to be a giant cunt to hold on to billions of dollars. I’d say the waste Gabe produces with his fleet of aquatic toys means he’s a piece of shit billionaire. I love games and Steam but I’m not giving him a pass. And I don’t care if some of his shit is used for research purposes
