Billionaires are symptoms of a failed economic system. Under the current system you don't become a billionaire by doing good things.

There are no good people who are billionaires. Stop looking for excuses to make them good people.

That's literally their first sentence. How are they saying billionaires are good people?

As much as he has promoted more consumer value and rights, there's still corporate meddling bullshit in Steam. I still worry for when he does die/retire how Steam will change.

I hope when he dies his fleet of superyachts is turned into a humanitarian project.

Something useful with them. There's an organized list of billionaires from first to last, I'd put Gabe nearer the bottom with the guy who owns Laika Studios LLC.

They're already equipped and used for environmental research. It's probably just greenwashing, but it's a hell of a lot more than other billionaires have bothered with.

Yes. Definitely.
