New estimates from Alinea Analytics show that Steam could have broken a $1.7 billion September record, and Valve's own F2P games are raking in big bucks.
That’s true. My point, however, is that the narrative around Valve is that they’re the “good guy”. In reality they’re just not as awful as the rest and are only doing the bare minimum. They’re part of the problem. You’ll never in a million years convince me that gaben is a decent guy when he owns 6 yachts. The biggest one even has a hospital, it’s ridiculous.
There are very very few for profit companies in the world that would even fleetingly think about reducing their profit for no reason.

We also know of very little philanthropy or charity Gabe does.
This could just mean he donates non-publicly, or barely at all, we can’t be sure.
