Gabe has 6 yachts worth about $1 billion dollars. Not very cool at all, imho.

He didn't kill anyone by denying them insurance or anything like that tho. Just took a commission on every game sold on Steam, a platform nobody's forced to use.

And by running a casino that rakes in millions of dollars off kids. I can appreciate the positives he's done with Steam, but I'm not about to ignore the negatives.

Yeah, he's getting kids to play at a virtual casino that has absolutely no chance of returning and financial winnings, but he's not taking millions of dollars off of kids. Considering those kids have the ability to own a gaming computer, I'm assuming the vast majority of that money comes from their parents. I don't condone the kids gambling, but he's not taking hard-earned money from kids that are in need and leaving them broke.
