I've never seen a billionaire get defended like Gaben.

He literally owns a billion dollars worth of yatchs yet I've seen his simp squad compare him to Jesus, lmao.

Because his billions were earned from offering an actually decent service beholden to the customers rather than the shareholders, something not many other billionaires seem capable of. Yeah, nobody needs a billion dollars but literally everyone else in the gaming industry would rather shoot themselves in the foot to make a penny now rather than... Just simply not do that and make a dollar later.

Yeah, if valve started taking step towards enshittification people would turn on Gabe too.
