      He hasn’t enshittified anything yet, and it’s looking like he might not ever, which is why people respect him.

      There’s valid criticisms, yes, but that meme is dead accurate. I don’t want to imagine what gaming would look like today if someone like EA the same vast influence over the industry instead of Valve.

        Imagine if GabeN created some sort of co-op and left Steam to an employee-run board when he died.

          That’s what I was going to say. Sure, Gabe might not be that bad, but what happens to Valve and Steam when he’s gone? Are we just hoping the next guy also isn’t evil?

      As far as billionaires go, he’s the least shit of the bunch. No idea what his personal life is like, and I don’t want to know. Every billionaire that makes their personal life public so far has turned out to be a giant cunt.
