I don’t think we should have billionaires, but not all of them are parasites on society.
The propaganda is strong. He’s not your friend, he only wants your money, his company is not altruistic. They’re capitalists and they contribute to the abuse of game developers
Everything you wrote is true, but it is also true that the people who work at Valve, not Gabe who is almost completely detached now, really care about what they do.
Which does not mean that they care about customers, necessarily. If they do, that is only a consequence.
Can we stop pretending now that bill gates is a good guy cause he pledged to donate his money to charities run by his kids?
And to the Lemmy folk, Also Gabe, he’s not your billionaire and steam is not your corporation. Stop worshipping these monsters.
