GabeN is evil, we’re all on the same page right?
My criticism of capitalism disappearing the moment I see steam sale.
I mean, if I have to choose who gets my surplus income, I’m more partial to Newell than Bezos, Gates, or Walton.
But it still sucks that these billions don’t go straight back to the developers.
