It’s crazy to me how there’s percentage of gamers who think this guy is THEIR billionaire, and this is THEIR game corporation, and it somehow makes it different or more ethical than all the other billionaires and corporations.

In a world where enshitification is the norm, the bar is so low that keeping a product with good quality is enough to be deified by some. But surely those gamers that worship Gabe just do it for the memes right? (Don’t answer)

Valve being privately owned rather than having external shareholders probably helps them go for something sustainable rather than pushing for growth at all costs.

It’s simply because the product is far superior to all other solutions on the market.

Not due to tricks, or marketing, or any weird strategies, but by simply solving the distribution problem for both the developers and consumers.

Yes all billionaires need to give up their wealth or literally be eaten, and all capitalism is inherently evil, but if we were to rank evil from least to most as especially liberals do in all other circumstances, then gaben and steam are on the least evil side of the spectrum.
