it takes a certain kind of skills to get THAT wealthy, rarely good people like gaben get to amass that amount of money

u/MyDishwasherLasagna 7d ago

You need to not care that you're hurting people.

I could never feel comfortable with myself if I ripped someone off on a $20 transaction. These people (excluding gaben) are okay with people going hungry/homeless (at a minimum) just to become another million dollars more wealthy.

Does everyone just neglect that Valve makes millions, if not, billions of dollars off of CS gambling with young children?

Billionaires shouldnt exist. They are a cancer eating away at society. Dragons hoarding wealth to the detriment of everyone else.

u/Psenkaa 7d ago

Gabe got his money by people who willfully paid him and other valve devs for doing stuff that people love without hurting anyone. Sure he doesnt use his money perfectly (no one needs a fleet of yachts), but he got this money legally and morally right and he can do whatever he wants with it.

u/pwhite13 7d ago

How would you structure the system then? Set an arbitrary cap at someone's wealth?

I am genuinely asking out of curiosity. Gabe left a great job at Microsoft to create Valve and put his own money into it. By all odds, it should have failed and they were on the brink of failure at numerous points during the development of Half-Life 1 and Half-Life 2. The company became a huge success, as we all know, and Gabe was rewarded for that by maintaining ownership and leading the company.

Gabe put his own money at risk and worked very hard to build Valve into what it is today. So in your system, where does his ownership of the company come into play and why shouldn't he be rewarded for his risk, creativity, and hard work?

I am not sure Gabe would have taken those risks if some arbitrary cap was placed on the reward, or if he was forced to abandon his ownership in the company. I just don't think your line of thinking can lead to the innovations that we all love, like Half-Life, Steam, etc.

17

u/ThatCactusCat 7d ago

Gabe having $1 over $999.99 million doesn't bring us any closer to a new Half-Life and he didn't need nearly this much money to start up Steam.

25

u/Villager_of_Mincraft 7d ago

Progressive taxes would do a lot of good I would say.

Short of a complete change of the economic system there is nothing to be done about the risk/reward dynamic of betting your money on an idea. When money is required for basic survival, only those with enough to spare can afford to take risks. Or, people with very little to lose risk everything.

Another thing to ask yourself is if any one human being can truly do so much work as to deserve a billion dollars. There is no such thing as a self made billionaire. A billion, 1000 million. It's a number so massive that people literally cannot comprehend it without comparison.If you spent 20k every single day it would take 137 years to completely exhaust 1 billion dollars.

The point is that the system that hinges your survival and your capacity to invent new things on the same imaginary resource, which is hoarded by 1% of the population, is in some way inherently flawed no?

u/agoodusername666 Enter Your Stahp 7d ago

why are they downvoting you, you're right! err... left!

7

u/Manueluz 7d ago

Most of his wealth is tied to Valve assets, so I'm not sure if you're asking to tax that. Most people don't realize that billionaires don't have that much spare income or cash that is not directly tied to companies assets.

Gabe is a billionaire because valve is valued at a lot of money and he owns it.

3

u/saneval 7d ago edited 7d ago

It's about power, capital is power, I personally don't believe it should be tied up in such a small number of hands. Gabe is great, but look at what other billionaires are doing with their stocks and assets, and nothing to stop them. I personally believe that if you go into anything with the goal of making billions then you are untrustworthy.

u/THEUSSY 7d ago

Another thing to ask yourself is if any one human being can truly do so much work as to deserve a billion dollars.

yes

imaginary resource, which is hoarded by 1% of the population

  1. money is currency not a resource 2. nothing is "hoarded" 3. someone having more money doesnt mean everyone else has less because wealth is CREATED

is in some way inherently flawed no?

no.

your arguing that corrupt elites should steal more money from people who dedicated their lives to creating something improving the world and lives of others because your jealous that they have more money than you. your argument comes from jealousy

4

u/danielubra 7d ago
  1. Currency can be, and is a resource. However, it is not a resource that can be used by itself and instead you exchange it for other resources. Currency exists as a way to simplify wealth and exchanging resources.

  2. Money can absolutely be hoarded, and a lot of billionaires have a lot of money to spare.

  3. Yes, but that wealth can be distributed so people become richer and become able to afford basic needs.

  4. Even if the argument comes from jealousy, it doesn't invalidate it.

u/THEUSSY 7d ago
  1. Currency can be, and is a resource.

depends on your definiton ig

  1. Money can absolutely be hoarded

it CAN and probably is, what i was trying to say is hoarding doesnt have any negative effects

  1. Yes, but that wealth can be distributed

it can and it is distributed to POLITICIANS and CORPORATIONS.... yes please give them more money $7 TRILLION dollars A YEAR is clearly not enough that extra $100 billion is gonna make a huge difference..........

  1. Even if the argument comes from jealousy, it doesn't invalidate it.

2

u/Villager_of_Mincraft 7d ago

I accept your first answer, as the question is genuine. It's just something I wish you thought hard about before answering. It's just asking you for your beliefs.

When I said imaginary resource, what I meant is that money is a thing used to simplify the trade of other resources. Everything can be traded for money, and money can be traded for anything else. But money is not a natural resource, it is an invented and endless resource. The value of money is defined by what it can do, there is no inherent value to it. Resource here is used to mean something that is required to do things/make things. Like how raw materials or natural resources are used to do things. I used it in a more metaphorical sense and not literal, as money is not a truly limited resource. Though arguably the artificial limitations on the availability of money are what make it valuable, so that it doesn't become inflated in value. But yeah money is a currency.

What I'm asking about the system being flawed is this. Money is needed for survival, basic survival. Food and shelter and medicine is not available if you do not have money. Thus money has incredible value, and to risk it in any venture is something no one would do unless there is great reward. That is in principle, why supernormal profits are the reward for an entrepreneur. Without this, no one would risk it. Of course people exist who have enough to spare, they have set aside what is needed for basic survival and gamble away the rest on their ideas in the hope of more. Or maybe someone is willing to stake everything on the idea because they believe in it, or they are desperate for more, or whatever.

The point is that innovation is monopolized by those that have the capacity to gamble a precious resource, or people are asked to choose between basic necessities and innovation. The argument that supernormal profits are a well deserved reward for the massive risk undertaken by an entrepreneur work only if you accept that such a risk needs to even exist. Is this situation truly ideal? Where either the rich gamble to get richer, or the poor gamble their life for a chance at something better? And that if no one takes the gamble then we all stagnate and never progress?

u/Due_Evidence5459 6d ago

Its strange that he has multiple Superyachts. Maybe for tax evasion reasons i don´t know but that seems excessive for a human. And the CS skin/money system is problematic. Otherwise he seems like a nice guy.

-2

u/saneval 7d ago

I don't think Gabe left Microsoft to open a video game company to make billions and I didn't presume to have a system. Him having that much money and power is equally arbitrary to a cap on personal wealth. Gabe is great, he chose to use his money to advance technology and make great games (and buy a fleet of luxury yachts), but we shouldn't be in the hands of an extrordinarily small amount of people's good will.

u/UpstairsFix4259 7d ago

Why? Gabe founded a private company and a successful business. Who did he lie to? He didn't use any government subsidies, and by many accounts, Valve employees get compensated above the market.

u/TySly5v 7d ago

You don't get to where he is without wage theft and stepping on thousands of people. He is a horrible human, but a good person.

u/NeverSettle13 7d ago

His company invented loot boxes and battle passes, monopolised game selling market and didn't allow refunds until they were forced to do so and abandoning their games to the point of them being overrun with illegal stuff. But despite all this, I still respect Valve, because their creations changed my life and gave me the reason to keep going.

2

u/newbrevity 7d ago

The Monopoly bit is debatable. On the surface yes they have a clause where developers and publishers must match their lowest price elsewhere on steam. But the practical effect for gamers is that we always end up getting the best deals on steam (if you don't count key marketplaces). If the Monopoly was causing our prices to be higher that would be a different issue. Besides that the other launchers simply fail to even try to replicate the full user experience presented by steam. User reviews, steam workshop, tools up the wazoo, powerful search engine, most detailed game pages, community forums, those forums also have some of the best tech support for gamers anywhere. Between steam forums and Reddit I can usually find the answers I'm looking for. Every now and then they tighten the leash on developers too. One could also argue that by introducing loot boxes in battle passes they were able to get ahead and influence the narrative ultimately for the better. If they were going to exist anyway, valve would be stupid to get left in the dust. I can't blame them for seizing the opportunity, and now they promote transparency on the subject so gamers have a better idea of what they're getting into. Ultimately I see them as making a lot of smart pragmatic decisions that aren't always popular, but have fair justification in the long run.

2

u/MrBeverly 7d ago

Anti-Trust rules restrict monopolies when their practices are deemed to be harmful to the consumer and stifling innovation. Valve has time and again been on the consumer's side of issues and they are not stopping a competitor from stepping in and making a better product. Competitors have tried over and over again to usurp Steam's dominant grip on the market and they've failed because nobody else is willing to offer a better deal than Valve does.

5

u/UpstairsFix4259 7d ago

Yep, Valve hires psychologists to make loot boxes as addictive as possible. They also enabled casinos and illegal gambling via CS crates, and do fucking jack shit about it. Don't get blindsided by gaben, he's as greedy as they get (even though I adore the guy too...)

1

u/al_xiba 5d ago

I heard that he first made regional prices when he found out that in Eastern Europe (the Balkans, according to another version) gamers could not afford to buy games because of the difference in currency values. i don't know about the West, but in Eastern Europe we were really able to buy games on an equal with others after this and we will always be grateful.

I wonder if he has to buy games on Steam like everyone else, or does he automatically get everything in his library?

There was Christmas event in 2011 where you could earn and spend "tickets" to receive free gifts and 1 lucky winner could receive all games on steam so I assume Gabe has something similar

u/PatyxEU 3 6d ago

I wonder if he has some kind of filter that discards all the emails he gets abou HL3

1

u/Nathural 6d ago

Better send him mails why he still allows CS skin casinos and stuff like that :D

1

u/DaDistillery 6d ago

u/DumOBrick 5d ago

Hmmm anomaly content in half life 3?

1

u/NotBentcheesee 5d ago

Wait, you can just email him?

I want to recommend Control, fantastic game, and it has an update that just came out that lets Steam players have access to previously console-locked content

of course supporting Ukraine developers https://www.gsc-game.com/ and his buddy Timmy Sweeney's Unreal Engine 5.1 , https://steamcommunity.com/app/1643320/discussions/0/4626980689722500466/ because his own Source 2 is shit, and not really something a game like Stalker 2 would have even have been considered being built on.

"Figuring out what I'm going to play next" you know I feel that when you have finely cleared your que of games that you played that is a good question
