    How many non-game related ads have you seen on Steam?

    How many actual ads have you seen on every other platform you used?

    How many ads have you seen in the game released on Steam in general?

    Does that answer your question?

      Just because Steam doesn’t have ads, doesn’t mean that Gaben is a good billionaire. For a large chunk of the existence of Valve, they wouldn’t even give you a refund. They had to be mandated for them to give you a refund.

      While the rest of us starve to death, Gabe is sitting pretty on over a billion dollars worth of boats

        Your name means untrue in my native tongue; how fitting

        There are no good billionaires, true, but if you compare refunds during the times you speak of with other companies, youll quickly find out that him and Valve clearly are among the least bad ones. Gabes boat isnt going to magically disappear just because of a lawsuit like this, and you should probably go outside and do something if youre currently starving to death in front of your computer.

          Yeah, because obviously i was being serious. Not at all hyperbolic.
