Fucking disgusting. There's no way to be a billionaire while not being a total shitstain that just sucks the society dry.

Funny, I was just reading about this sort of thing in "How to blow up a pipeline". It's the sort of argument that seems obvious in retrospect.
When someone in the global south uses a coal stove to cook their food, they're doing it by necessity. When a billionaire sails out on a mega yacht, it's pure excess. Yeah, banning them won't make the difference between 1.5C and 2.0C of global warming, but it's low hanging fruit.
We can also ban private jets, and the only significant impact to the economy would be that some billionaires have to travel around in first class like some kind of lowly multimillionaire or upgraded plebian.
It does not matter if you think Valve makes good products or not.

This is that research vessel he talked about a while back.
Leviathan has also been designed with scientific work in mind: Newell's interests now include Starfish Neuroscience, a company focused on neural interfaces (popularly known as "brain chips"), and Inkfish, a marine research operation. Part of this is a "convention-defying layout" that apparently brings teams together, which makes me think about all the times I've read about desks with wheels at Valve.
Unlike his other yachts, this one actually has a purpose.
It's still a luxury yacht decked out with nearly all the things you'd expect from a half a billion dollar superyacht. Only part of it is customised for research. If the main goal was to turn half a billion dollars into a research boat, this isn't the boat that would get made.

Eat the Rich includes him
15 gaming PCs
Priorities, eh?
I like the way they list those things in the title. Like which one is the most expensive: the hospital, the submarine garage, or fifteen gaming PCs?

This is how I find out that he has a yacht called "Rocinante".
I couldn't find the date where Gaben bought it, but the boat was originally built in 2008 and for someone else, so I guess I don't know if Gaben is a "The Expanse" fan or just a fan of "Don Quixote". I'd prefer the former.
Anywho.. #EatTheRich

30% is too much! Clearly Steam doesn't need that much to operate (the percentage of each sale that go to Valve)

lmao.
You can tell that microsoft is worried about the steam machine, since they've started spinning up the propaganda machines against Valve.
Fuck billionaires, him included. A personal submarine bay is just baller as fuck, though.

$500 million that could have gone toward the development of Half Life 3...
