Gabe is a pretty good billionaire. He has made a lot of people happy. He doesn’t spend his money trying to manipulate society. I think Gabe deserves a new yacht.
Can’t remember a single Valve game that is $60 (today $80?) that has a Battle Pass, built in micro transactions that are pay-to-win, half-assed DLCs that should’ve been in base game, or a game being unfinished mess on release.
Valve is not a saint. But even with lootboxes they bring way more good to gaming industry in comparison to literally any other gaming company.
There are no good billionaires, kids.
But there are degrees of how bad they are.

Alright then, he get’s an extra sharp guillotine.
Valve literally invented case gambling…
For cosmetic only items, and in return they let everyone play for free. It doesn’t bother me as a business model.
I don’t think monetizing gambling addictions so others can play for free is a great argument.

Bonus round!
Can you guess a game that has all these 4 points?
$50 says it’s an EA game
