      At least he had the underdog story having companies try to beat him down.

      Still unsure if he came from generational wealth, but at least there’s a story there.

        Doesn’t every budding company face competition when they grow? I don’t know what an underdog story has to do with his exploitative business practices and his billionaire lifestyle.

        Getting children addicted to illegal gambling isn’t exactly inspiring.

          Yeah i’m not looking for inspiring. Guy made a company, made some good games, came within an inch of getting trounced by big bro, turned into a publishing empire then made some bad decisions.

          Then we got steamdeck pushing Linux.

          If not for Steam, we’re just be sitting in Epic and Blizzard’s and Microsoft’s laps.

          It would be really cool if someone did a non-profit publisher, but capitalism just fucking sucks and everytime we get something nice it has to turn to shit.
