    Everyone on here acts like Gabe is THEIR billionaire, and Steam is THEIR capitalist billionaire corporation.

    Gabe is a dirtbag and a thief by the sole virtue of being a billionaire. Nobody earns a billion dollars, you get it by stealing wages and time from the workers below you.

    Steam is a dirtbag corporation as well, no matter how many fanboys try to sweep Steam’s history of fuckery under the rug

      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

        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. Gabe could be in the Epstein files and you would go all Megyn Kelly and defend him.

        There’s nothing complicated about it, steam is a corporation out to milk you out of your money and so is Gabe.

        Okay yeah as a non gamer I wasnt sure of the problem. I had heard he has great employee benefits and people generally love the product so I wasnt seeing the issue with the success but thisnis a major issue.

        Obviously he should be taxed more and all that jazz too.
