    Pretty sure the deification isn’t his billionaire status, but his founding and direction of Steam. Would the picture be more acceptable to you if his net-worth were only 999million? At what level of wealth would that picture be acceptable to you?

      Well, I’m an atheist, so frankly I find deifying anyone weird. I just find it particularly weird to deify a billionaire. And I never said that his billionaire status is why he’s deified, nor does it change my original sentiment: it’s weird to deify a billionaire (implied: irrespective of what else they’ve done).

      I use and like Steam. Still think Gabe doesn’t deserve a billion dollars. No one does. Not while people are starving and homeless.
