Does the word “paragon” apply in this case? That’s what I think of when I see someone outside of religious context that I would aspire to emulate.

It’s wild the simping done for Gabe on Lemmy. Gamers acting like he’s THEIR billionaire and steam is THEIR corporation and pretending he ain’t evil

Yeah. For me though, sayingig that you dont live for wealth and power, when you have enough to live 2 lifetimes comfortably, is kind of ironic.

He’s significantly less evil than other billionaires and Valve provides a pretty solid service at a fair price. Not very many companies even reach that bar. Giving them credit for that isn’t unreasonable.

All billionaires are bad but I’ll take Gabe over a Bezos or Zuckerberg every day of the week. There’s a huge difference on how those guys see/treat the world.

Oh what a world it would be if people like Wozniak and Swartz weren’t fucked over by their original techbro “friends”

Here’s a guy that actually tried to make something good, even if the other guy didn’t let him. He worked to live and not lived to work. Yet he still has 10 million and a couple of houses, which definetely doesn’t make him a billionaire, but he has enough to put him in the “fuck you” position

It was him, not Steve Jobs, who deserved to be Apple’s guiding light.

There is a Thexder game for the PS3 & PSP, if that interests you.

That’s like saying someone is the nicest serial killer on earth

Edit: it is disheartening seeing so many people on here defending billionaires, we are fucked as a species

Sure.

But there is still “a nicest serial killer” out there.

Dexter as far as serial killers go was pretty nice compared to the average serial killer. He brought donuts and glides like a lizard on ice.

That’s likely the case for people who are renting and having to take out enormous mortgages so is draining all their income.

But, for someone who got a home fully paid from decades back, so all they have is general expenses they would be comfortable. Which is the case for anywhere even if things are more expensive then other places.

One of the rare birds you kinda got to let slide with his wealth. To the best of my knowledge he hasn’t used that wealth to abuse people.

I honestly wouldn’t mind a billionare that ran around in the night using their billionare powers to bankrupt other billionares (or dumping their mutilated corpses in the bay, also fine)

yea this is the guy Elon tried to PR himself as (and possibly succeeded for a while when he wasn’t as popular), but shit starts to smell fast.

I’d rather be murdered by the nicest serial killer than any of the others.

Logic dictates that he’d use a ‘nice’ way to do it, such as laughing gas, or something.
Over slowly skinning me alive and dunking me in a salt bath.

Wow, some uplifting news which proves there are still some good people on this earth. I needed that, thanks!

But could he curl his goatee like jobs? I think not!

Yeah maybe he’s like bill gates and gave away large portions of his wealth, to himself…

Stuff like this needs to be thoroughly checked before it becomes “heartwarming”.

Edit: my point: don’t just trust them, verify.

Edit: seems to have angered the bill gates boot lickers lol

Wouldn’t it be nice if serial killers joined a club where they serially kill each other? Just throwing an idea out there, so we don’t need a Luigi club to do the dirt work for them.
