Gabe Newell is the only billionaire I’d bend the knee to. He earned that money by not constantly fucking over his player base and actually generating good content.
Plus he responds to literally anyone, I’ve got email chains with him just talking about hobbies and general life experiences. Name any other billionaire that you don’t have to jump through several agencies and hoops to even make an introduction.
I have 0 sympathy for people caught in the casino aspects. The games are free, the game casino is for cosmetics, and you can play thousands of hours without paying a dime.
That’s an awful take. Most of the whales and people caught in the casinos who suffer the highest financial loses are neurodivergent or people with mental illnesses, kids with their parents credit card, the elderly and overall the most vulnerable to manipulation. Those are the people that the gambling mechanics specifically aim for.
No elder is case opening on csgo, valve is fairly lenient for kids with mom and dads credit card, all you have to do is email customer support, being neurodivergent isn’t an excuse, you are either functional enough to understand the risks and problems or you are not functional enough to play the game in the first place. If you have a gambling problem, get help, but I don’t have to feel bad for you.

He runs a casino… I think he’s “better” than others, but his money still rests on exploitation.
