I forgot that Gaben is literally all of Valve.

I’m not here to lick Gabe’s boots, I’m here to point out that sometimes, companies do good things. There are a lot of people making money and doing development at Valve, almost none of them are Gabe, but I guess fuck the laborers because their CEO consolidates money and fucks around on the Stock Market.

Yes, Gabe is included in Eat the Rich, but the people that work at Valve shouldn’t be held accountable to to his faults. Conflating the Labor with the Owner is a take though.

Especially because they are literally known for creating things that sell at a loss and learning profound lessons from the thing they sell.

Also, they’re the most progressive group to not engage in Patent warfare since Volvo made the 3-point seatbelt.

Valve knows how to help an ecosystem grow and pays attention to it’s user base.
