Yeah he’s a billionaire. But he’s the least bad one . we can appreciate that. Valve is (basically) single handedly keeping all pc gaming from becoming instant shit. Imagine if ea bought valve. Scary thought. Instantly you’d have a 20 dollar a month subscription and a limit of 2 game installs/downloads a month. And your drivers license/id would be scanned.
Yes its a closed Eco system which isnt great but we still have gog. And steam games unless noted do not have DRM. They are playable without the steam client.
I think we have many, many more billionaires to worry about than attacking valves employees. As far as I know, valve employees aren’t donating to fascism and death camps, rigging elections, and promoting disinformation bots. Or denying healthcare.
Sure. But it makes more sense to direct the rage at the actual evil billionaires. I don’t really care if Joe that got rich off wood lag screws made a billion and fucked off to his own land never to be heard from again. I do care about the ones meddling in elections and raping children.
I’ve kept hearing these scare stories for years. Sorry, they’re shallow as shit. I’m not settling for Valve just because scawy EA is worse. To hell with them both. Anti-consuner is anti-consumer. A billionaire is a billionaire, and all of them are delicious.
Same people who wouldnt vote at all in the US Because “Biden might do a bad thing” well guess what, Drump rapes and kills children and kidnaps innocent people, while starting wars.
You know there’s more than two game companies, right? You know that unlike the presidency in the United States of Fascism, there can be more than one game distribution platform, and those can be run by multiple companies, yes? While you’re at it, buying games from Steam means your tax dollars go to the Trump Administration.
Oh ya i know. But no one actually uses anything but steam. Related, If you know normies, they only use Spotify (even though they support ICE and stolen llm slop audio). People dont buy CDs or records or use discogs or bandcamp etc. Same thing.

No such thing as a good billionaire. Least bad doesn’t cut it.

Gabens isn’t the employee, he is the owner. When I talk shit about Amazon and Bezos, I’m not attacking the employees.

Its like the incel Nintendo rage. No one cares.
Ah yes, the second paragon of virtue: Nintendo. This is the bootlicking I’m talking about.
