Valve boss Gabe Newell reveals daily routine in bizarre new interview: "I get up, I work, I go scuba-diving, then work some more"
-
A huge chunk of that Linux development was paid for by exploiting child gambling. Just because one does a few good things with their money, doesn't justify how they got it.They hated him because he spoke the truth.
-
I can understand preferring scuba diving to doing interviews.

If you're a game dev, then you should also know how valuable every service steam gives is, if you're just "a dev" then it's not really relevant beyond understanding how much setting up all of that infrastructure would cost in terms of time, effort, marketing to actually get discoverability, and actual server costs once you need to scale. Either way you should know enough to get that 30% is absolutely worth it.

Casual reminder that Gabe Newell owns 6 yachts worth an estimated US$1 billion and that he is not your friend.

>Man that has poured shitloads of money into turning linux into a more mainstream desktop platform is rich Wow.Not sure exactly what you're trying to say here but I guarantee 0% of that wealth came from his investments in Linux support. Their investment in Linux is mostly a way of keeping MS in check, as in "if you try to fuck us the way Apple does with iOS, your customers will leave Windows because they'd rather have something where they can play their giant library of existing games".

There is no ethical consumption under capitalism. Injustice anywhere is a threat to justice everywhere. We can nitpick specific examples for everything you want, and we will be correct, but that detracts from the point that Gabe has helped to build things that took decades of slowly getting anywhere. I wish we didn't need it, but we do.

I can't imagine how you read my comment and determined that the thing that confused me was why he doesn't do many interviews.

I do, that's why I said something.

Gaben is a billionaire many times over, he owns half a dozen yachts, and valve has like 100 employees. They could take 5% without changing a single thing and still be fabulously wealthy. Greed corruptsThey could, but why would they when 30% is fair still? You are not entitled to setting other people's asking price, and they are entitled to setting the cost of their own labour. If anyone is greedy here it's you, demanding to have a say in how much is a fair rate for someone else's time and skill.

Gabe Newell is better than many others, but this is true, the best man on Earth will become an absolute pissbag given power for continuous enough period of time to realize that. And the best man on Earth is probably some volunteer medic in some African warzone, not a computer programmer and a tech businessman.

I don't think anything I said implies that it's all I care about friend, and I'd say you don't care enough.

This man never does interviews. Then the one interview he does in the last 30 years is trash-tier editing of a vertical video of a laptop screen in a Zoom meeting from 20 feet away, that's only uploaded as Shorts, by some guy who only has 7 total videos uploaded ever. WTF is up with that?
