Steam Companion Cube would have been a better name.

Gabe, the billionaire who gets constantly jerked off by gamers online and treated like him and his billionaire corporation are their friend.

    That's because Valve has done awesome shit:

    • Made buying PC games simple. Automatic updates, free cloud saves, friends, etc.
    • Gave indie devs a market, so they could reach millions. Steam basically invented digital game downloading.
    • Pushed Linux gaming forward by funding driver and engine work, backed Vulkan, and built Proton.

    Valve changed how PC games get sold and run, and made Linux gaming awesome. It was Gabe's vision that drove all of this. Sure he's massively rich, and the fanboyism can be kind of annoying, but just because a company got rich doesn't mean you can't like them.
