Goes back to the misuse (or misappropriation) of the word 'Empathy', which they routinely substitute for compassion, which is subjective

[Polident]

Imagine Gaben's hookup knife collection though

[Besticus Maximus]

I always thought that Gaben looked like Michael Douglas if Catherine Zeta Jones' pussy was high calories

When you think about it, yachts are basically slave ships for rich yts to play at captain and live out their ancestral fantasies about owning black bodies.

Sadly it gives you cancer instead. A real monkey's paw situation, for sure.

[HeavenIsAPlaceOnEarth]

Those assholes know he doesn’t go out in all those yachts right? He rents them out to other billionaires. It’s a pretty lucrative side hustle for billionaires.

You seem to know an awful lot about what billionaires do...

You've put way more thought into this than the entirety of reseteras user base combined ever has. They're just jelly and dress it up as basic bitch Marxism, which they only like cos that's what's cool on the left on twitter.

Uh, excuse you, but some people don't have the privilege of being able to think about things.

response to literally every chest-beating leftist:

do it then

do a flip

or are you just too comfortable with all the great things you've accumulated due to capitalism? don't want to be dead or in jail when the next zelda game comes out?

Directly below it

Simping on this billionaire is very common in the game community.

it really is, and this thread would be way more gross/reactionary on the other side honestly

Yeah, could you imagine how reactionary this thread would be if it was posted on the gaming side? JFC

And of course Irish Ninja is a fucking He/They guy

[Boredfrom]

Because they don't want to and would rather put their thumb on the scale in other ways that help their own self-interests (look at Bill Gates).

Also them being able to pick and choose which causes deserve their money is pretty unethical to begin with.

The only way we fix this is by taking away their money through proper taxation and preventing billionaires in the first place.

And you guys are surprised when rich people are super greedy and protective of their wealth. 

I just noticed that RE doesn’t even bother to explain in what they are “verified” those users. They just have a special tag that says they are more special than others.

[Besticus Maximus]

Truly ending social problems and, like, actually making a fair, equitable, and sustainable world, inevitably means moving towards systems, laws, and other checks where this kind of wealth hoarding becomes impossible. Remember, all of this is inherently predicated on centuries of genocide, slavery, and forced underdevelopment of the Global South. Without the trillions in wealth the US and Europe stole, you cannot foster these regions' rapid development, meaning there's no wealth built in to springboard lucky jacks like Gabe into a position where he can take the majority of the credit and subsequent wealth from building Valve in the first place. Giving it back through initiatives that make a better world for everyone would essentially wipe out the US and Europe's golden parachutes.

But even beyond the existential horror of reparations, you know, of just doing the right fucking thing, there's the even more simple fact that capitalism is ultimately a hierarchical system wherein the top of the pyramid has access to the land and capital necessary for making stuff- food, clothing, housing, transporation, etc.. Your ability to survive, and thrive, is dependent upon your relationship with that capital. You're either a have or a have not, and if you're a have not, you're indebted to the capitalist class to give you some sort of means of survival. You either have power, or you don't. Eliminating this hierarchy, or even threatening to flatten it some, means the Gabe Newells of the world would have to contend with these new paradigms on the same footing as you and I. It means giving up power. And he'd probably rather commit suicide than do anything silly like that!

The admin of the games forum pushing Gabe Newell to suicide there, perfectly normal business

B dubs, she's on one again, hit the button to move the thread to the star chamber

It definitely did not feel like a warm fuzzy industry celebration at all. The quintessential moment was that who voiced Kratos* basically insulting Activision developers... that was so awkward, uncomfortable and out of place. He seems pretty full of himself.

"Body shaming"?

[Boredfrom]

She full of shit, she will not give back anything. Most of RE would not give back anything even if the closest form of socialist utopia arrives on Earth because still will be not good enough to give up their material possessions.

[Hap Shaughnessy]

Nepenthe truly believes in the grand scheme of things that she is a have not.

Like, bitch, you live in the suburbs, you collect Lucio shit and you were dumb enough to swindled by your step father to be indebted for a Nissan car.

Grow the fuck up of this shit.

[HaughtyFrank]

So long as he keeps getting money from Steam, there's no point where it becomes too much. After all, the obscenity is being inherently justified by the rules of the system he's playing in. Valve would have to go bankrupt for him to maybe have an iota of a chance of reflection, but lol at the thought of gamers making a stand for anticapitalist initiatives. That Christmas Steam Sale is about to hit.

Ugh, gamers wont even end capitalism.

And this from someone who keeps filling bobby koticks pockets

full of himself, meaning fat, i guess

Gabe worked hard for his money. Gave up a cozy job at Microsoft to start a very risky venture and it paid off. Took an even better risk changing his company from developer to platform holder on his own dime after EA, Microsoft and others didn't want to fund it. 

Unlike others that made it big he never compromised on his principles and he has always taken great care of his employees and the community (both players and developers) when he could've sold them all out long ago.

If anyone has earned those yachts it's him.

[HaughtyFrank]

Working at Valve seems to be the coziest job in the whole industry.

[Besticus Maximus]

If Gabe would rather commit suicide than not have his yachts and money, how did he survive to the point where he had the yachts and money

that's a more positive spin on the "If you work hard, take risks, and get lucky, you deserve to die" trend
