    Okay? I don’t care how much money he has, I only care what kind of person he is and what he does with he resources he has.

    He chooses to use his position to make a quality service that respects its users, which is sadly uncommon these days. That’s honestly all I expect from a CEO, and for that he gets more respect than most CEOs, meaning I’m pretty “meh” about him. He’s not a villain, but he’s also not a saint, he’s just a reasonable human.

    If he offered me 1% of his wealth to shill for him online, I’d probably take it, because I could do so much more good with that money than the minor “evil” of being annoying shilling for a kind of okay dude. $50M means I could fund a charity I believe in and dedicate my time to it.

    I honestly don’t care if some people get disgusting amounts of money, I only care how get got it and what they do with it. Gabe Newell seems to care more about the service than the money, and is doing what I expect the average person would do if they had that much money. So he’s a pretty okay dude.

      He’s the ceo of a company that promotes gambling to kids through a proprietary app and he uses their resources to stroll around in a fleet of mega yachts.

      If that’s your idea of a fair reasonable human you are a villain yourself.
