He’s a libertarian so this is just a good business opportunity

Is he? Varoufakis said that, back when he worked at valve, Newel had an “anarcho-syndicalist soul trapped in a private company” or something like that

Doesn’t he own the private company though?

Can’t speak for the rest of valve but last I checked the actual developer portion of the company is run with a flat hierarchy and nobody enforces participation in projects, people work on whatever they want to work on. He does own it though.

Of course but that doesn’t make him a libertarian. I’m not saying he’s actually an anarcho syndicalist or whatever probably just a business guy

Maybe? But the guy still sold lootboxes as gambling for children, so he can’t be that anti-capitalist.

Of course, I meant more that he’s probably more of a hippie doo doo kinda guy than an ideological right-wing libertarian.

I mean christ, look how he looks now
