        A 50% markup on everything sold isn’t very ‘tender,’ they just don’t itemize it in the advertised price

      He did push gambling to kids. But he also did gaming on Linux.

        We can do a dialectical analysis here, because he revolutionized something, Gabe Newell is like Mao, but he is also unlike Mao, for that he isn’t Chinese.

      Not yet, the licensing stuff sucks for sure but there is always a chance Gabe changes their policy. Valve is a rare unicorn that has yet to go out public so there is a chance it can be reformed.

        Why go public when you don’t have any expenses you’d need to raise capital for?
