If you just pay attention more than the average person you quickly realize that he’s already a shitty billionaire.

Steam underage gambling profits him directly.

He owns a yacht collection while his clients can’t afford to own the place they live in. How’s that for an environmental impact?

His reaction to George Floyd wasn’t that Valve should release a statement at he considered that problematic, instead he gave each employee 10k to spend however they felt like. Where I used to work we used to call that a “shut the fuck up”. Employees are complaining about something? Here’s 10k each for them to shut the fuck up. Hell, they could spend that money to finance far right groups if they wanted, Newell didn’t care!

Valve takes a 30% cut but Newell is a billionaire, which means they could afford to take a much smaller cut, he could have hundreds of millions instead and the devs could have more money in their pockets.
