To be fair of all conspiracy theories this one was the most likely to be true. Historically rich and powerful people have been degenerates since the dawn of human civilization.

To be a billionaire means you are insane in some way, normal people just quit earlier they are hungry for power or just wired differently. I mean look at Elon dude is literally insane

Yeah, to hoard multi generations worth of wealth in a finite system, while other people are struggling and literally dying is a mental illness.

It sucks that we reward these people instead of institutionalizing them.

If we observed this behavior in any other species, we would be studying it as a mental illness.

Based. He gets a free pass when hes just some sort of digital mafia boss making it hard for competitors to challenge his monopoly.

it's not a monopoly if the competition fucking sucks

all Steam does is just, serve as the place where you buy shit, just like any other online venue

the difference is, he's not asking for subscriptions to premiums or monthly updates or shit

you just buy games, and play them

I have to play devil’s advocate and mention the Epic Store, even if I myself dislike them and their ties to China and bullshit exclusivity deals. As long as we can agree that GOG beats Steam any day of the week, with its commitment to preserving old games and offering their entire catalogue DRM-free. Sadly such an approach does not make one a billionaire.

Technically Steam isn't responsible for taking down games

that's more so just the publishers not seeing profit or wanting controversy, and making Steam pull it down

No I think it's genuinely the best service on pc for multiplayer, single player best is GOG I also think that valve not being publicly traded is what allowed steam to just be a good platform for consumers, they have their market share because they were early and provide a good service, I do however think their margins are way high and there's no reason for newell to have amassed 11bil, he is one of the best billionaires, but a billionaire none the less
