      Cloudflare provides valuable services this day on age but they’re building into a dangerous monolith of internet structure. Not sure how comfortable I am with that

      Definitely valve. Say what you will about the man, or don’t, I’m not your manager, but he has kept the same formula to steam since it was created. While other empires crumble and fall to enshittification, valve simply is.

      We need Gabe to stick around as long as possible. If he wants to buy yachts and gamble with the money he has, let him. He didn’t get to where he is by chasing every last dime and dollar, he got there gradually by running the company in such a way that it served the user base. As long as Valve’s Software continues to focus on the user, we should leave this one alone.

        He’s filthy rich and makes some of his money with gambling addiction. But his company invests million into Linux and I really enjoy Valve’s products. There are thousands of worse CEOs and companies.

          He’s also the original ceo of valve. Didn’t sell it out and have corporate ceos just casually going in and out.

              Yup. I’m an electrician in Seattle. We’ve built his offices and got to interact with his staff. I remember him mentioning to our GC the idea of having his offices open 24/7 to his staff with amenities was because the guy who came up with the idea is steam liked to work at night.
