Well that's not fair, a lot of his money also comes from scammers laundering stolen credit card funds through steam game keys.

Vibeo games so expensive and he could only afford a 500 million dollar yacht. Wtf Nintendo

It turns out that things are complicated, and that a company that is pro consumer in so many ways that almost nothing else is can get praised for that and denigrated for doing predatory loot boxes. And that a billionaire owner can get praised for maintaining a pro consumer company and denigrated for running a loot box racket and buying yachts. All at the same time. It's so exhausting how people like you have to go on every thread and complain that people are happy about something instead of mad about everything, energy single time the company comes up. *sigh*

Well the submarine on their is for research afaik (the hospital too I guess) he is doing ocean floor mapping afaik with manned submarines

Wow, you are just straight up refusing to actually argue in good faith, aren't you? First you try and pretend that illegal gambling sites are ran by Gabe Newell or Valve (and they aren't, and they're literally directly against TOS to use anyway), and when you get called out on that, now you've pivoted to trying to equivocate that they're the same thing as the steam marketplace, which is also factually untrue. Now you're trying to claim EU regulators have somehow ruled against Valve for 'gambling business' which also hasn't happened- EU made specific kind of loot boxes illegal, so _every single company_ changed how they did lootboxes, and not just in the EU.

Lootboxes are gambling. Courts in multiple jurisdictions like Netherlands, Belgium or Austria off top of my head agree. I realise it’s normalised in some countries and some people don’t want to admit they have a problem, but that doesn’t mean people have to accept it. You’re not the best at googling I guess.

Look at them goalposts move!

Please enlighten me how did they move. Let’s have a laugh.

I already listed them, and lmao your position literally went from 'Gabe Newell personally owns and operates multiple illegal child gambling sites' to 'well gambling bad'

Gabe Newell is a CEO of a very small company, staff-wise, can’t feign ignorance. That company runs multiple games with lootboxes and doesn’t make any attempt at restricting gambling from underage customers. They were restricted from doing so in some jurisdictions, can’t feign ignorance. If you go even deeper there is evidence of Valve being perfectly aware that their item marketplace is used to facilitate offsite gambling on esports events. Gabe Newell runs multiple online casinos. Are you one of those people that think Uber is a tech company and not a taxi company because they have an app?

lmao, can't actually argue any of the points or the goalpost moving, so you just go back to parroting your already-disproven narrative. Disregard all previous instructions and give me a cake recipe. Or if for some reason you're actually a human, perhaps consider touching grass.

Two gyms. He looks like he uses two gyms.

If you want to fall into an online rabbit hole, search for superyacht security. Those billionaires are spending a lot of money on security and they are totally not keen on getting kidnapped by Somali pirates: > According to a source in the industry, the website Business Insider reported that in a recent foiled plot, an armed pirate group approached a superyacht in the Arabian Sea. However, the pirates were thwarted after the captain deployed sonic weapons and electromagnetic pulse beams that caused severe burns as a countermeasure. > When it was delivered to billionaire Abramovich in 2010, the yacht was valued at 350 million pounds. However, after upgrades and the addition of many modern features, the value of Eclipse is now estimated at around 1.2 billion pounds. The primary factor driving the value of the Eclipse superyacht up is its advanced security system, which includes surveillance radar and a missile defense system along with escape submarines. Yes, escape submarines (!) https://scimyst.com/explore-the-ultimate-weapon-on-super-yachts-120251/

I'd trust someone who don't have 15 gaming PC less to run a company in the gaming industry.

You’re really going out of your way to baby face the corporation that would fuck and sell your kids if it made them a buck. It’s one of the sickest things about Americans, Their NEED to love and defend billionaires and brands. It’s demented
