    What has him owning yachts and being rich anything to do with the subject I talked about? Why would I be bothered by it?

        I’m a bit confused to why you brought it up then. Sorry if it was a joke or sarcasm and I missed it. Otherwise, I don’t care how many yachts he has and don’t mind he being rich. That’s not a reason to hate someone. Therefore, there is nothing to give it a pass for.

          I think it’s because people often say Gabe is “one of the good ones (billionaires)”, and they saw the original comment as implying that

            Him, I’m not sure how someone is a good or bad person for having money. I judge someone by their actions and how much they seem to touch grass. And Gabe seems to not only understand gamers, also his background how all of this came to be makes him more sympathetic versus most other billionaires. He also owns his own platform and is a private company, which adds to the weight.

            But most importantly, the actions he does speak to me and I support what he does. We could go into details, but I think it does not matter to do that now at this place…

              You can’t become a billionaire ethically. It’s impossible.

                That is your opinion. I do not agree that Gabe got so much money in an unethical way. If it is, then tell me what he is doing or did that is unethical.

              It’s not him having money, it’s him spending on one of the most destructive vehicles (environment-wise) as you can buy. Multiple times. I do like that he has kept Valve private, and that he seems to understand what we gamers actually value. But that doesn’t make him a good person or Valve a good company.
