Ok but how much more money have made Microsoft with Minecraft exploiting other people?, I'm not saying they isn't a billionaire I'm just saying at some point people start delegating work or like in this case selling it to someone who can delegate the work to make even more money.
You're moving the goalposts though, you realize that right?
Your initial position was that you have to have exploited people to be worth a billion dollars (with an implicit "directly exploited," since if you can't make any money without indirectly exploiting people, which would make your point even more pedantic than I'm being.)
Other people later exploiting others to profit off your product is irrelevant. Hell, it'd be irrelevant if you made your billion dollars and then started exploiting people yourself. You still would have, in fact, become a billionaire without exploiting people to do so.
What about the billions Microsoft paid which are made off exploiting other people? Dirty money..
Wow you want to regulate private business? Sounds pretty woke /s
