Do we hate this guy yet? Fucker does nothing but collect rent on the entire games industry
We love him cause he fucks us tenderly instead of violently like everyone else.
Oh, like a softdom, how nice...
A 50% markup on everything sold isn't very 'tender,' they just don't itemize it in the advertised price
Still 300% cheaper than fucking everything on PSN.
He did push gambling to kids. But he also did gaming on Linux.
We can do a dialectical analysis here, because he revolutionized something, Gabe Newell is like Mao, but he is also unlike Mao, for that he isn't Chinese.
not even mentioning the real crime of never finishing half life
I saw him on the train the other day he owes me 50€ somehow I just know it.
Not yet, the licensing stuff sucks for sure but there is always a chance Gabe changes their policy. Valve is a rare unicorn that has yet to go out public so there is a chance it can be reformed.
Why go public when you don't have any expenses you'd need to raise capital for?
