oh no, a person at the head of a company that has created a great environment has profited from it! the horror.

Gabe's wealth isnt a problem. if you dislike his yach the problem is in the taxation system of the country not the individuals wealth.

BBB hasnt been relavant for decades its a dead ratings system that was bought out years ago by corpo interests. citing them is like citing donald trump on medical treatments for covid.

oh no! 80 employees? the horror. thats literally what software is about. its economics of scale are insane. you dont need more than a couple dozen people if they're competent.

finally: geoblocking is a feature developers enable. they don't have to. steam doesnt force them to. if you dont like it don't by those games. I promise you there are plenty of games you can buy that dont have it.

really if this is all you have as complaints thats pretty small time. compared to google/apple/microsoft/EA/nabisco mistreatment of their employees, funding of fascist politicians, etc. quite frankly I have bigger concerns than gabe being wealthy.

Now do Musk and Bezos!!

All billionaire wealth is stolen wealth. All billionaires are bad. If you stopped bootlicking for a second, you would realize defending Gaben is defending the system. The fact that he can legally exploit it to steal from consumers and developers doesn't absolve him from doing it.
