He is a billionaire and just like all billionaire he can rot. He's not your friend.

Oh yeah, sure.

But if I were to have a death note I'd only be able to use on the very wealthy, I don't think he'd be any of the first names I thought about.

lol ok Mao calm down now, just a fyi, don't cast such a broad stroke when counting your adversaries in life, even the best waste a lot of time living like that.

It’s true though. Even the most well-intentioned billionaire is merely the central point of a massive ball of capital, full of accountants, lawyers, shell companies, VCs, lobbyists and sycophants and sucking more and more wealth and power into itself like Daniel Plainview’s giant straw through sheer fucking gravity. It can’t help its nature, it is the scorpion.

No, what I mean is once he dies Valve has a very good chance of going pure profit mode. Good or bad for society, gaming is often too focused upon while things doing objective harm are neglected.
