Would bet cash money this article was sponsored by Tim Sweeny, who is also a billionaire lol.
Not saying this excuses Gabe Newell in any way, but this was made purely to attack Valve’s newly announced product.
They had no issue when a billionaire with an order of magnitude more wealth than both Tim or Gabe went around advertising his shitty Amazon MMO:
It’s impossible to say where New World will be in a year, whether it will be on the road to obscurity or finally giving World of Warcraft something to sweat about, but right now it’s a huge success that validates the commitment and patience Amazon has taken with it. Bezos may not have had a direct hand in its creation, but as the person who greenlighted Amazon’s foray into gaming more than a half-decade ago, you can understand his pride in it.
I never understood the appeal of anything rich people like. A yacht? An HOA? A supercar? These don’t appeal to me at all. If given them I would hate them.
I mean it might be fun to buy a politician but otherwise it sounds boring.
All billionaires are bad.
Imagine having a dedicated yacht hospital for yourself when most can’t afford decent healthcare. I hope people stop idolizing Gabe, he is just your run of the mill billionaire.
Dude, I thought you were cool.
Owning a yacht is like the lamest thing you could possibly do!
With the coolest things being feeding the hungry and housing the poor obviously.
Everyone on here acts like Gabe is THEIR billionaire, and Steam is THEIR capitalist billionaire corporation.
Gabe is a dirtbag and a thief by the sole virtue of being a billionaire. Nobody earns a billion dollars, you get it by stealing wages and time from the workers below you.
Steam is a dirtbag corporation as well, no matter how many fanboys try to sweep Steam’s history of fuckery under the rug
He bought that off the tears of teenagers not getting the knife they wanted over and over and over again. Scumbag.
He’ll taste like chicken, too. Fuck these obscenely rich.
Better boats than politicians.
I mean if you can’t have a gigayacht what even is the point of being a billionaire. And then letting a magazine write an article about it so all the other billionaires know you’re flexing on them. I mean the guy deserves the basics at least.
what does he need the 15 gaming pcs for??
I mean I guess this is better than 500 million sitting off shore bank accounts. A big part of the problem is rich people don’t spend their money.
I’m a Steam user…dammit now what? Sail into a Beaufort 12 storm with that colossal waste of everything.
Wow I was a day one Steam Machine, Frame and Controller buyer until this. Maybe people like me are the problem.
