Valve boss Gabe Newell reveals daily routine in bizarre new interview: "I get up, I work, I go scuba-diving, then work some more"

Maybe it's you!
We believe in you, rottingleaf!

Not sure exactly what you're trying to say here but I guarantee 0% of that wealth came from his investments in Linux support. Their investment in Linux is mostly a way of keeping MS in check, as in "if you try to fuck us the way Apple does with iOS, your customers will leave Windows because they'd rather have something where they can play their giant library of existing games".
Hey if Gabe wants to make Linux phones something to be taken seriously I’m all for that. Until then, Gemini creeps me the fuck out so no android. I can tolerate Siri being fucking dumb.

Man that has poured shitloads of money into turning linux into a more mainstream desktop platform is rich
Wow.
Man who didn't want his business to be completely reliant on Microsoft, made a decision to ensure his money in the future
-
He earned his money. Who cares how many yatchs he decided to buy with it?
No one earns a billion dollars.

From what little I know about Gabe, it’s seems he doesn’t want to be the center of attention at valve. He wants Steam to the center of attention. It’s a smart play as we are seeing more and more people turning on techbros and their cult leader status’.
Ironic because Gabe appreciation is still kind of cult like.

I just dont understand miney obsessed people. Why the hell do you need multiple yachts? Why even work at this point when you could just .. not? You would still afford everything you ever want without ever checking your bank account. I just dont get it.
He said he's having fun 🤪

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.

Back up that claim. Shouldn't be hard to do. -

Your opinion is your own, I’m not justifying myself to a loser online.
