    It’s wild the simping done for Gabe on Lemmy. Gamers acting like he’s THEIR billionaire and steam is THEIR corporation and pretending he ain’t evil

      He’s significantly less evil than other billionaires and Valve provides a pretty solid service at a fair price. Not very many companies even reach that bar. Giving them credit for that isn’t unreasonable.

      All billionaires are bad but I’ll take Gabe over a Bezos or Zuckerberg every day of the week. There’s a huge difference on how those guys see/treat the world.

        That’s like saying someone is the nicest serial killer on earth

        Edit: it is disheartening seeing so many people on here defending billionaires, we are fucked as a species

          Yeah that’s a fair statement someone could make. You wanna get killed by the serial killer that just poisons you in your sleep or you wanna get killed by the one that removes your skin and dismembers you alive? See the difference?

          it is disheartening seeing so many people on here defending billionaires, we are fucked as a species

          Literally no one is doing that here (“ALL BILLIONAIRES ARE BAD”) Saying one thing isn’t as bad as the other isn’t a defense of the former.

            Dexter as far as serial killers go was pretty nice compared to the average serial killer. He brought donuts and glides like a lizard on ice.

              I honestly wouldn’t mind a billionare that ran around in the night using their billionare powers to bankrupt other billionares (or dumping their mutilated corpses in the bay, also fine)

            I’d rather be murdered by the nicest serial killer than any of the others.

            Logic dictates that he’d use a ‘nice’ way to do it, such as laughing gas, or something.

          Wouldn’t it be nice if serial killers joined a club where they serially kill each other? Just throwing an idea out there, so we don’t need a Luigi club to do the dirt work for them.
