    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 know right and why Zoom? Surely they could have used something better.

          Nothing bizarre about that. Scuba diving is nice for some people who are shall we say neuro spicy. Nothing I enjoy more than going to the bottom and just chilling in water.

            I wonder, is there good equipment available to go scuba diving with a full beard?

            The regulator has a bite mouthpiece, so no fit issue there. Mask fit covering nose might require some shopping around or upper cheek shaving depending on growth pattern.

              Isn't diving good for arthritis? Gabe's no spring chicken.

                You've got bigger issues if all you care about someone is their monetary wealth.

                  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 corrupts

                  They 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?

                        From what little I know about Gabe, it’s seems he doesn’t want to be the center of attention at valve. He wants Steam to the center of attention. It’s a smart play as we are seeing more and more people turning on techbros and their cult leader status’.

                          Ugh, that sounds incredibly unpleasant. I felt that comment on a psychic level and it was….mushy.

                              Hey if Gabe wants to make Linux phones something to be taken seriously I’m all for that. Until then, Gemini creeps me the fuck out so no android. I can tolerate Siri being fucking dumb.

                                Man who didn't want his business to be completely reliant on Microsoft, made a decision to ensure his money in the future

                                      I just dont understand miney obsessed people. Why the hell do you need multiple yachts? Why even work at this point when you could just .. not? You would still afford everything you ever want without ever checking your bank account. I just dont get it.

                                        Gabe sounds like a nice guy. You never hear bad things about him like other CEOs.
