Valve is the best gaming company, who has a storefront (and even consoles / systems to sell). All other suck in comparison and I think Valve is good for the entire gaming industry and the gamers.
Your first comment sounds like you’re mocking people: it reads as if you’re parroting a valve fanboy who thinks Gabe is awesome simply because they’ve been brainwashed to think that and not because of valid reasons.
It’s funny because originally I didn’t understand how it was different and when it was explained to me in a factual way I did understand and changed my view and people really don’t like that.
You don’t have to like Gaben to see that Tim is much worse. Tim only cares about business. That’s why Epic store is great for publishers and developers and dogshit for customers, because Tim doesn’t see you as nothing more than cattle. Your interests don’t matter, you’re just a vessel to extract money from. You can dislike Gaben all you want but Valve at least treats you like a customer.
This is a vile lie by PC Gamer. I criticized a government official for pressuring Apple and Google to block a speech app owned by their political opponent, deplatforming 500,000,000 users on the pretense of stopping a small number of users from distributing disgusting content.
This is clear bullshit aimed at local (i.e. American) degenerates.
When Elon Musk went on a crusade against texty (a tiny Ukrainian new source), did genuine free speech believer Tim Sweeney care? Of course not, because American polemics about alleged beliefs in “free speech” are lies.
Sweeney is such a dishonest and corrupt piece of shit, a very typical retrograde American oligarch.
Tims bad. Gaben good.
I am not a Valve fanboy.
They are only sort of OK when viewed in comparison to other American technology oligarch groups. I even hesitate to use the term “OK” in this context.

Your first comment came off like, really not how you wanted IMO.
I don’t understand what you mean.

A rare inverse example of Poe’s law in action - a statement so lacking in nuance that everyone is assuming it to be sarcastic.
No, that’s not what I meant. Tim is bad and Gaben is good in my opinion.
Yes, we figured that out because of your second post.
This is really weird, I read this comment chain a month ago I feel like. But it was posted today?
Indeed. Even stuff like their casino side business with CS skins seems to be often downplayed.

Yes, that’s why Gaben good and Tims bad.

Corrupt:

That’s just the annoying American style of corruption (I say this as someone who is not American but who has lived in North America for ~10 years).

Most American political arguments are lies
Don’t worry, the votes are meaningless
