No one is actually worshiping him, it's just a meme, relax.

Also this image is probably older than his being a billionaire, it has to do with Steam, not his net worth.

Pretty sure the deification isn't his billionaire status, but his founding and direction of Steam. Would the picture be more acceptable to you if his net-worth were only 999million? At what level of wealth would that picture be acceptable to you?

Well, I'm an atheist, so frankly I find deifying anyone weird. I just find it particularly weird to deify a billionaire. And I never said that his billionaire status is why he's deified, nor does it change my original sentiment: it's weird to deify a billionaire (implied: irrespective of what else they've done).

I use and like Steam. Still think Gabe doesn't deserve a billion dollars. No one does. Not while people are starving and homeless.
