Normalising digital restrictions management and renting games rather than owning them. He didn’t start it. But he sure as hell normalised it.
Holding a near-monopolistic position in PC gaming and taking a one-third cut of most PC games sold, and an up-front fee to be allowed to sell your game in the first place.
And then spending that eye-popping sum of money on multiple yachts rather than, I don’t know, maybe improving the world even a little?
Gabes goals are twofold. Make money for himself and those under him and improve the PC game space.
He does both both unapologetically and without secrets or shady shit. Honestly, it’s not his responsibility to fix the world. It’s ours collectively. He does his small part to improve what he can. He saw a need and he does his best to fill it. And at the same time he pays his workers the highest wages in the entire industry. Most people who work at valve are millionaires.
I believe billionaires need to be taxed out of existence but this one is not the one that we need to hang first
