This CEO, Gabe Newell, and (if he was still alive) the founder of Little Caesars, who, if I recall correctly, secretly paid for Rosa Parks apartment until her death.
Nah people need to stop jerking off Gabe and valve I general.
They started predatory lootboxes, ridiculously expensive cosmetics, early access, owning a licence instead of the actual game, had to be sued just to get refund policy and the vast vast majority of his wealth has come from just skimming a bit off from people who actually make games he distributes.
If you look at valve without the "omg steams sale XXXDDD"" mentality, then they are no better than ea or Activision.
Truth.
Valve been private company allows them to avoid some shortsighted decisions of public corps, but they're no saints.
We need more stores, with an interstore protocol allowing you to move your licenses. EU get on that please
