This CEO, Gabe Newell, and (if he was still alive) the founder of Little Caesars, who, if I recall correctly, secretly paid for Rosa Parks apartment until her death.

Gabe Newell owns fleets of yachts and private jets. The man is using your sweet gaming money to burn the planet.

maybe he's just buying up all the yachts and private jets so no one else can have them.

He was going to have them laser-scanned for a Half-Life 3 level, but nevermind.

Yeah we need a source.

Also, as far as CEO's go, speaking from an outside perspective obviously, the man is wonderful. Valve makes solid business decisions in favor of long term growth instead of short term profits. They do this buy making sure that their platform is easy, safe, reliable, and not abusive for their consumers. They institute their own consumer protections into the platform that make them less money, just to make sure they remain a place we WANT to shop, when everyone else tries to make themselves the only place to shop, and then fucking over their consumers at every opportunity. Valve is a fucking case study on how companies should be ran, and a perfect display of how modern american capitalism is ruining everything, by being the antithesis of it.
