He may be a middle man rent seeking on the entire gaming industry, but you can't hate him because of all those great game series he never finished
I can't hate him since he broke Windows monopoly in gaming.
And I can't hate Elon Musk because he promoted electric cars.
I love it when completely unaccountable industry monopolists make decisions for all of society when I agree with them. They're so cool!
I hate billionaires existing but comparing Gabe to Elon seems pretty disingenuous. Elon has and continues to normalize some pretty horrific things.
So compare them on the axis I explicitly compared them on. I wasn't obtuse with my point.
Oh no he runs a buisness, grow up.
A 'business' that doesn't produce the thing that makes it profit.
You sound like my landlord
Tell that to every business that sells products they don't make in house. Go on, I'll wait.
You mean a storefront that enables tons of indie devs to be noticed and actually compete with AAA publishers?
Are you asking because you're confused what we're talking about? We're talking about Steam.
