    Man I hope he lives to a 100 at least, why am I always late to the party, I learn about Limewire and it dies the next year, I get access to my sister's Netflix account and Netflix goes to shit, I'm finally able to afford a gaming laptop and buy Steam games and now I'm too busy and tired from work to play them and Gabe is getting older. I wish I could go back in time and do things differently

    I'd tell myself to start investing my money and hit the gym, but I'm unemployed right now and I know once I'm employed again finding the time in this rat race is gonna be difficult but I'm gonna start valuing my time more seriously, I've uninstalled doom scroll apps like Instagram and I'm working on time blocking my tasks, hopefully that pays off

    Good for you! I hope you find a good job soon.

    In the meantime, I recommend doing some exercise because that's something you can completely control your progress on. If you don't have a gym membership, body weight workouts are absolutely a thing you should check out.

    My understanding is that gaben has already put an action plan in place for when the company moves on from his leadership.

    From what I've heard of it, the people in line behind Gabe will be upholding the same values.

    We should have at least another ~40 years or more of this before sometimes entitled brat inherits the company and sells it off to a foreign interest.

    With all that being said: long live gaben.

    I like Steam, I like that they aren't being dicks and treat users well. That said: billionaires are not your friend.
    There is no such thing as an ethical billionaire.

    I didn't say there was.

    I just want this specific billionaire to continue to live because, unlike most billionaires, he's not making my life more difficult.

    He's basically refused to let steam become enshittified. Other billionaires would have long ago succumb to the one that they serve, the almighty dollar, and done whatever they can to extract the most value from their user base. Enshittifying the platform in the process, and actively making my life worse.

    So as far as I'm concerned, when it comes to billionaires, gaben is far from the worst.

    I have a short list of billionaires that kinda fit into the category of: I don't mind that they exist.

    There's a much longer list of billionaires that I'd like to see pushing up the daisies.

    Not that I can, or would, do anything to make that happen. I just, wouldn't hate it if it happened.
