"Gabe was quoted as saying, 'Yesss, another yacht for me!'"
Edit: Oh sorry, when he's our billionaire he's cool, right?
As far as billionaires go it could be worse.
For sure.
But the nerds around here put him on a GIIIANT pedestal.
It’s OK to make fun of Gabe, guys, he doesn’t care about you as he tries to figure out which of his six or seven yachts to ride around on this weekend.
To be impartial, he has a fishing yacht, hospital yacht, research yacht. Seems like these are probably floating businesses? Anyone know in what capacity he uses them?
Does bezos lease out his yacht to customers to help pay for itself or are these literally just sitting and being maintained for personal use? I guess i dont really know much about yachts.
Sounds like you care about the nerds more than they care about him? No one even mentioned him in this thread so what are you wafflin on about?
Your name contains the name gabe.
Who is bending to corporate interests NOW??
Uh, excuse me, but Gabe buys submarines thankyouverymuch

Preach brother, fuck all billionaires!
Steam getting better isn't linked to anyone becoming a billionaire. That sentiment sounds like people can't stop looking for things to blame Valve for.
Is it too difficult to accept that every single company failed in competing with Steam? I'd say they didn't even try their best (especially Epic). Must've assumed that just serving a website with a web app is all they needed to get as rich as Gabe.
