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

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

Priorities, eh?
lmao.
You can tell that microsoft is worried about the steam machine, since they've started spinning up the propaganda machines against Valve.
Gabe looks a lot like me. I think I see where they could have cut some corners.

Perks of not taking your company public? I hate two comma mfers as much as the next red blooded American, but Gabe ain't the one.
What you're after is a bit of socialism.
We don't have to kill all the millionaires and billionaires, they are just required to contribute to the world more than they take, as long as they do that they can have their luxury yachts.
The problem is almost none of them actually do contribute anything to the world and most of the ones that do contribute things that the world doesn't want. Elon Musk contributes a lot of electric cars to the world, which would be a good thing, it's just a shame they're all dangerous killing machines.

High chance if he decided to take home "just" $10 million per year, he could pay every single one of the Valve employees at least 100k more every year.
That or they could take less than 30% from developer profits.
