Holy shit Gabe Newell is a billionaire (it's just at the second paragraph). This does change my view of him and steam. So uncool.

The dude's the CEO of the most successful online gaming platform ever. Yeah, he's gonna be a billionaire.

What did you expect? He owns Valve who has the place to buy video games on PC with Steam.
But you'll be hard pressed to find a store front that is not owned by a billionaire or some publicly traded corporation.

cough GoG cough

I'm agreeing with you, btw.

GoG

or some publicly traded corporation

CD Projekt is a publicly traded corporation.

[-] Zahille7@lemmy.world 7 points 3 months ago

Exactly. Even with their DRM-free practices and such and how people want to advertise so much for them here on Lemmy, they're still a publicly traded multibillion dollar company.

I expected him to be cool, I guess
