Valve is one of the few billion dollar companies that hasn't screwed me.
haha yeah, me too. like how they wouldn't give refunds until they were forced to by the ACCC. Even for games that didn't work. oh... wait a minute!
I like to think of it as a "so far, so good" kind of situation. Mostly.
I think most people have eyes on gaben because if he's leaves or dies or steps down, the entire world is gonna change, and as much as I hate to think about it, it likely won't be for the better. All my wisdom tells me that that man, billionaire or not, is the only thing keeping a lot of darkness at bay.
And before you say that's giving him too much credit, I'd like you to take a look at nvidia and Jensen Huang's current trajectory and effects on everything you hold dear right now.
Yet!
Gabe has to die some day.
The guy bought a billion dollars worth of boats.
He screwed you, he just has a constant media campaign running to convince you he's your buddy.
Excuse me? You think media told me Gabe runs a consumer friendly business? I know from experience. Gabe screws with the game industry instead of the gamer and has done a lot of good (and bad) protecting consumers from the worst of the gaming industry.
He screwed me by running a very successful business and earning money?
