Jesus Christ... Why are people like this?

[–] MystikIncarnate@lemmy.ca 5 points 2 weeks ago (2 children)

.... Because when it comes to billionaires, gaben is the least of our concern?

Don't get me wrong, billionaires are always bad, but not all billionaires are hated.

You won't see Bezos doing anything that helps people, not unless it will line his pockets. Valve doesn't charge us for using vac, they're unlikely to sell a lot of new copies of CS2 by making it harder to cheat in the game. They have nearly zero financial reasons to bother with any of this. They did it anyways.

Theyre more likely to keep the skin economy alive by making people enjoy the game. It's not like they have no incentive.

But yea I very much agree gabe is not the problem. If every billionaire acted like gabe the world would probably be a whole lot better, even if they'd still waste a lot of ressources. Because at least he hasn't sold his basic human decency for more money, he just spends his insane amounts of money on excessive luxury. And valve actually takes risks on new products, and is content with their store shitting money instead of trying to make it shit money faster like every publically traded company.

I agree he's better than most. But I'm still going to ask why anyone feels the need to own and maintain a fleet of yachts.

It's fucking capitalist brain rot. I will never trust anyone who chooses to live that way.

It's excessive, I'll give you that. I can't really argue with your point here.
