Why do you worship this fat faggot? What has he done besides abandon several of the greatest game franchises in history to let them collect dust, leaving his fans to die on a cliffhanger while he jerks off to VR hentai porn and get rich off of other people's hard work?

>does nothing
>wins

At least he looks sort of uh cool. I mean that he could look like way more of a nerd like carmack or a dork like the epic guy.

Because every Christmas he comes to my house and gives me presents.

THANK YOU.

Closing in on 100 games in my library, I definitely do not worship Gaben. I can say though Gabe's leadership of Steam has prevented the PC gaming sphere from becoming a shithole. Especially as a TF2 fan, it sucks Valve doesn't support games anymore, but from a publisher and distributor standpoint what is not to like? They are a private company and do not answer to a board or shareholders so it is not just profit driven. Steam re-invests profits into itself with SteamOS, the Deck, and overall support for users. There is not another company like Valve where the customer is really put first and foremost, and customers money is not sucked from them. I disagree with the gambling aspect of some of Valves games with lootboxes, but even then you can sell your items. Profiting from a game you play? Where else can you get that?

>What has he done
The best job of anyone in keeping PC gaming free of thought police, for as long as it lasts. When he dies the last ember will go out and PC gaming as we knew it will be gone, becoming first a console, then a streaming service.

Excluding profit driven publicly traded corporations from the market has been the single best thing for gaming over the last twenty years. The man makes money hand over fist literally doing nothing, but you know the second valve disappeared the whole thing would begin enshittification. Publicly traded companies do not have the foresight to manage sustainable long term business. They would immediately charge us more money for a lower quality product and exclude devs and artists from the profit, further collapsing the industry. Praise the dead god Gaben and his golden throne, for his vision guides our PCs through the warp of greed and chaos.
