Yeah. Go buy hollow Knight, or schedule 1, or anything from an indie studio. Support both good devs and studios, and valve. And you even get a fun game to go with your support. Honestly, everyone wins.
… Does anyone still wonder why I boycotted all other gaming platforms other than steam?
You think you’re going to get anti-cheat this good from the likes of epic? Ha.
According to quick google, he only has 4 ships in his fleet (with fifth being built right now), and 5 ships is a very small amount for any respectable admiral.
“Only” 4 megayachts. Its really wierd to me that gaben gets a pass on excessive resource consumption because he’s"one of the good ones". People should not be dumping millions of dollars into private toys period. And if they do, one is certainly enough. Was a whole private superyacht not enough to satisfy a man? If not, how is 4 or 5 going to? Does he provide public housing to the poor in those things? Is he planning to invite all the steam gamers and make a floating independent country? Why are so many people like this? Where does the neverending hunger for more come from?
… Because when it comes to billionaires, gaben is the least of our concern?
Don’t get me wrong, billionaires are always bad, but not all billionaires are hated.
You won’t see Bezos doing anything that helps people, not unless it will line his pockets. Valve doesn’t charge us for using vac, they’re unlikely to sell a lot of new copies of CS2 by making it harder to cheat in the game. They have nearly zero financial reasons to bother with any of this. They did it anyways.
Theyre more likely to keep the skin economy alive by making people enjoy the game. It’s not like they have no incentive.
But yea I very much agree gabe is not the problem. If every billionaire acted like gabe the world would probably be a whole lot better, even if they’d still waste a lot of ressources. Because at least he hasn’t sold his basic human decency for more money, he just spends his insane amounts of money on excessive luxury. And valve actually takes risks on new products, and is content with their store shitting money instead of trying to make it shit money faster like every publically traded company.
At this point I nearly want to “donate” to Valve…
That’s what we call having hundred of untouched games in the steam library. Right?
Can I write them off on my taxes if I never play them?
Become a game reviewer and write them off as a business expense
Ig buying a game will give Valve + the dev/publisher Money (cause Valve Takes 30%)

what about GOG?
GOG is awesome but limited - I can’t think of any modern multiplayer game sold on GOG. Lot of great singleplayer ones though.
Gabe needs another megayacht

Jesus Christ… Why are people like this?
