    Gaben owns a fleet of 8 megayatchs worth a billion, costing an estimated 150 million in yearly maintenance. He enjoys the soft monopoly like all the other players and takes his 30% cut like everyone else.

    Steam is just as bad as Microsoft, Sony and Nintendo in terms of their negative impact on consumers and the game industry.

    Imagine defending and even glorifying Elon Musk because you like and use Twitter. The Gaben Simp Squad really needs a wake up call.

      Owning megayatchs… is not equal to being an evil corporation like Sony or Nintendo. Steam is not a monopoly either, or at least it doesn’t try to become one with predatory tactics like, say, Epic.

      As for defending, I know people suffer due to what people like Elon did and does. I know no person who suffers from what Gaben did or does.

      It’s not Gaben simp squad story, it’s Gaben hate squad story. And I don’t see adequate reasons for that hate. Guess some people just like dividing everyone into “good peasants” and “evil multimillionaires”.
