He can go fuck himself with a 6" railroad spike.
At least Gaben is pushing the Linux gaming community forward!
BUT 30%!!!!!
Yeah, that 30% means I can ditch Windows. At least it's being used for good and not just* yachts.
Uh, not to take away from your point about Steam making it possible to ditch Windows, but that money is absolutely being put towards buying yachts. Gabe Newel owns $1 billion worth of yachts, 6 of them in total. Like, good on Valve for making Linux accessible, but the money is still quite literally going towards Gabe's yacht collection.
Yeah, I meant to throw a "not just yachts" in there but my brain don't work right. We all have our passions. At least the guy looks out for the industry through the eyes of a consumer and doesn't behave like a pissbaby.
Only if we ignore that a lot of Valve's pro consumers practices are things that were legally imposed and that their 30% cut is driving up costs for consumers and that they actually use anti competitive tactics to prevent other platforms from actually competing.
