There’s no such thing as a good billionaire. Some are less bad than others, but none are good.
I can get wanting to have enough money to live comfortably. But that line is crossed way before the “billionaire” mark.
They have more money than they could ever hope to spend in 10 lifetimes. So it is a conscious decision they make, to say “Instead of putting everything I don’t need to a good cause, I’m going to hoard it and buy a few more yachts instead.”
Steam is a shitty business. They run a gambling scheme for children, they take a huge cut from devs (blabla industry standard blablabla), they make billions and basically employ less people than an indie studio. The fact that so many gamers would take a bullet to protect this billionaire dude is beyond me. Of course the guy is super right wing, you don’t run that type of business without being.
Musk v. Altman lawsuit exposed that not only are Musk and Gabe on speaking terms, but they also share a lot of opinions about AI and brain to computer interfaces.
It is the first crack in Steam I have seen, and if life has taught me anything, where there is smoke there is fire.
The cracks have been there for years, we just wanted to believe that they weren’t because when we do acknowledge them we acknowledge that all of our money has gone to the parasite class.
Edits: words are hard, can’t decide how I want to say this — you get the picture.
You are right, of course. I think modern day media and it’s propaganda has been unbelievabley effective into duping everyone into believing a divided society of haves and have nots is acceptable.

After hearing his connection to Musk I am starting to wonder. All is not what it seems.

Yeah, I am definitely guilty of giving Steam a free pass because I used their service a lot.

Anyone who really wants to understand Valve should at bare minimum watch the 2 coffeezilla videos:
