Ah, but it’s also funny to see people whine about /s anytime it’s used. It’s quite the conundrum.

You’re going to need more straw than that if you’re looking to build a man

Does he fund it to the point of no longer being a billionaire? No? Then my point stands.

You’ve effectively explained how billionaires justify not paying taxes. Now explain how they can be good people.

You phrased that better than I did.

And what in all of this enables a billionaire to be a good person? Or did you miss my initial point that being a billionaire makes it impossible to be a good person? I ask because this is still immaterial to that point.

Whether that is true or not is immaterial to my point.

See the thing is, he could live very comfortably as a hundred millionaire and help thousands of people with his excess income. Instead he hoards it. Is he actively evil like some other billionaires? No, but merely hoarding that much while others starve disqualifies him from “good person” status.

This criticism applies to every billionaire, not just Gaben.

He’s a billionaire. You can’t be a billionaire and a good person at the same time.

Don’t get me wrong Steam is the best digital storefront ever created, but Gabe could be using his money to help poor people instead of buying yachts.

They have a fantastic orchestra

Are they going to port the old Yaris Xbox Live Arcade game to this new engine?

And there’s the crack in the door needed to slither the rest of the way in. First they come for the copy writers and concept artists. Then it’ll be writers of “boilerplate” code (I know it’s already happening). Soon enough the disclosure will quietly disappear and we’ll be completely drowned in slop.

Automatic matchmaking and server migration ruined a lot of online gaming. Gone are the days where you could find a friendly server in the server browser and spend hours with the same group of people, building friendships and rivalries. Now it’s just lobbies full of strangers getting reshuffled every match.

Lasagna is pasta cake

you’re par for the crappy attitude course.

Re: your edit

Why are you shocked? You yourself came here to complain about a very common problem in AAA games (always online single player). You know the way to fix that? Don’t play games from studios who care more about the analytics you generate than the games they produce.

You paid $70-$90 to not be able to play a game. You could have taken that money and bought 2-5 indie games that would actually let you play them because the designers aren’t out to sell data on how people interact with their product.

It implies you’re playing Monopoly, which is an evil game.
