Valve boss Gabe Newell reveals daily routine in bizarre new interview: "I get up, I work, I go scuba-diving, then work some more"

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?

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".

>Man that has poured shitloads of money into turning linux into a more mainstream desktop platform is rich Wow.

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’.Ironic because Gabe appreciation is still kind of cult like.

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.

This post did not contain any content.Gabe sounds like a nice guy. You never hear bad things about him like other CEOs.

Valve was making bank before lootcrates, and lootcrates have been available to kids since trading card games.
-
The thing isn't that they have constant work to do, but that they *must* be available for work at any time, for any reason.

Greedily taking up an obscene excess of resources and producing crazy amount of emissions and pollution makes the planet less livable for the rest of us. Yachts do those things.

Gabe Newell is not a usual CEO though.
