They are business men that want to sell a product. If a game is only on Steam, I buy it there, if it’s only on Epic, I buy it there.

Too bad you have neither a clue nor some talent to at least make a funny comment.

Buying games on Steam serves 100% my self interest. Some of that money goes into improving open source Linux technologies which I personally benefit from.

If you cannot make factual comments, at least learn how to be funny instead.




You can look this shit up you know. 3 yachts each retrofitted into marine research vessels and one under construction as another research vessel. Two “support vessels” whatever the fuck that means. The one under construction will house 75 scientists. His marine research company, inkfish, releases all findings publicly and for free.

But nobody knows this shit because he isn’t burning money on a fucking PR firm.

Two yachts for pleasure, which is entirely two yachts too many.


Look, he’s sitting upon an empire largely propped up by the fucking invention of lootboxes, the marketing of them to children and whales, and all the second and third hand markets and gambling sites that have sprung up around this shit. I’m not going to sit around and suck his dick.

But inkfish isn’t even the only “public good” organization he’s founded. And he’s also just directly donated money to existing things as well, such as considerable money into pediatric ICU in New Zealand.

On the scheme of ultra rich, he is one of the better ones.

Edit: Especially if we’re putting Gabe Newell up against Tim "banning Twitter because it allows AI generation of CSAM is gatekeeping" Sweeney
