-
There are plenty of non CEO jobs with similar requirements
Okay?
Do you even have a point?

Gabe sounds like a nice guy. You never hear bad things about him like other CEOs.

I am literally a dev
What games do you have on steam/gog/epic?
-
Yeah... earned...
How do you do fellow temporarily embarrassed billionaire?
Yeah man, totally a billionaire over here scratching together coins for a lucy. You caught me.

Valve was making bank before lootcrates, and lootcrates have been available to kids since trading card games.

The thing isn't that they have constant work to do, but that they must be available for work at any time, for any reason. Some random and unpredictable crisis waking you up at 3am for the 5th night in a row? Sucks to be you.
Sounds like your average IT infrastructure job.

Greedily taking up an obscene excess of resources and producing crazy amount of emissions and pollution makes the planet less livable for the rest of us. Yachts do those things.
Spoken by someone who has no clue what those yahts actually do.

Gabe Newell is not a usual CEO though.
There's no reason to idolize the man.

Is that downvote the number of games you've released?

This isn’t a job interview I’m not obliged to give you my CV. I’m stating an opinion that valve and steam are not the friendly aw shucks corporation they’ve been whitewashed into.

It's a Steam Deck, he has big hands.

Ironic because Gabe appreciation is still kind of cult like.
I'm sure that's why he doesn't seek attention, he already has too much.

Ok, fantasy game dev lmao

He said he's having fun 🤪
Yup, if I was worth an obscene amount, I'd still work, but the nature of my work would change. It sounds like he found something he enjoys that happens to make a ton of money.

Nothing bizarre about that. Scuba diving is nice for some people who are shall we say neuro spicy. Nothing I enjoy more than going to the bottom and just chilling in water.
Linus Torwalds seems to agree as per TIL post earlier this week.
