>Good Steam paypiggies, buy me another super yacht
sure why notyou earned the money Gaben
Seriously, why does anyone need seven goddamn yachts? Can no one answer this question?
Nothing wrong with being rewarded for providing a good service people like
based gabe
>>726150297Honest question, OP, what would you rather Gabe spent his steam bucks for?
>>726150386>why do super wealthy buy things that can be used to write off a shit ton of money as a loss to avoid taxes?I dont know poor fag, why dont you enlighten us, broke boy.
>>726150297>Nike framesHe could afford so much better.
>>726150297Honestly, I would be happy for him if he had given us Half-Life 3, Portal 3, Team Fortress 3 and Left 4 Dead 3 instead of selling fucking HENTAI and doing nothing for 20 years. Fuck Gabe Newell.
>>726150362>>726150401>>726150563>imagine being this much of a cocksucker
>>726150386what the fuck else are you supposed to do with all that money? try to purchase gold you can't buy? buy apartments/houses so you get fucked by property taxes?
>>726150579I bet you don't even make 40k a year.
why do anti-capitalist think people should work for water and bread only and are constantly envious for other people not living off water and bread?
>>726150297What a waste of money. This man is as stupid as he portrays himself whenever he is in front of a camera.
>>726150659why do I care what someone does with their money?it could be literally any person doing literally anything so long as it isn't hurting me in some waywhy do YOU care so much?
>>726150386They are money sinks it's so they don't have pay as much Tax
If it wasn't on steam companies would still charge just as much and just pocket more of the money
>>726150575OP is retarded and thinks Valve operates like EA where they hire people for doomed projects and kick them out even if it makes money.
>>726150659but enough about you and your switch 2
>>726150386>>726150401>>726150563>>726150705Because when you cultivate a cult and a monopoly by doing the same thing Sony is doing minus the hardware then you can do anything, yachts, child raping islands. There is no limit once you've cheated the system and have brainwashed your customers into having Stockholm syndrome
>>726150679>tfw my annual raise is $0.10 and I'm told to be grateful for it
>>726150297>NikeBad taste, Gabe
>>726150679Of course, i only make a loss so i dont owe anyone shit, u mad minimum wagie?
>>726150575Ending world hunger, curing cancer, building homes for the homeless?
>>726150575He's just mad that Gabe is rich and he lost his CSGO skin portfolio when he got VAC banned in 2023.
>>726150705there's a difference between having enough money to eat and buying multiple yachtshe does not need this and billionaires should not exist
>>726150386She uses them for his company Inkwell for marine research. The new 500 million yacht he is making (he also owns this company so he gets subsidies building his own yachts) is going to be primarily used for marine research with a built in submarine bay, research facility and hospital
>>726150772>waste of money>uses it every single day
>>726150297Getting a superyacht is a strong signal that someone is really after your ass. Seems like old fart has made enemies in places he cannot reach.
>>726150856theres no Steam monopoly though
>>726150297>Noooo there shouldn't be yachtmakers and repair men and harbor masters and staff to take care of the boat nooooo just give the money to the common man who will immediately use it on drugs or junk food!
>>726150856what exactly does steam do to force a monopoly. is gabe personally driving down to epic games every day and punching any software developer that attempts to make the EGS not a steaming pile of shit?
>>726150386He is giving something back to the poor Yachtbuilders who can't afford a Yacht
>>726150897I don't care about any of that, but the least he could do is open an animal shelter to help abandoned pets.
>>726150575How about MAKING FUCKING VIDEO GAMES? How the FUCK can a video games forum idolize a man and a company who DON'T FUCKING MAKE VIDEO GAMES?We never got Half-Life 3, TF3, Portal 3, L4D3, and CS2 was a fucking JOKE. Valve fanboys are the lowest fucking boot-licking shit eaters who have ever lived, and they're probably trans too.
>>726150386i mean, it's better than 6
>>726150386he's a big guy
>>726151058>BUT WHAT ABOUT THE HECKIN DOGGERINOS
>>726151000Source?>>726151006Gabe doesn't have to indulge in anti-competitive behavior when his customers won't switch or use alternative storefronts that behave and function exactly the same and sometimes offer a competitive advantage
>>726151228>Source?i have epic dogshit launcher installed and they pay devs for exclusivity, unlike Steam
>>726151158>We never got Half-Life 3, TF3, Portal 3, L4D3Good, endless sequels are why gaming and movies are in such a dire place, only one that can be justified is Half Life 3 to cap off its story, but not the others
>>726151158I agree they should make games but I don't know why you'd want any of those sequels besides HL
Every other igacorp so far has not managed to create a launcher that mostly fuckign works and isnt asscancer that makes your PC stutter just to boot up to then just crash five times trying to launch ANO while screaming at you to buy a subscription.Do that and offer slightly lower prices then steam and I might change, simple as
>>726150297Steam, Epic and all these other stores need to die, and we need to return to physical media. It solves every problem with Steambut normalfags will complain>I don't want to go to a store
>>726151228>function the sameEGS didn't have a fucking shopping cart for several years>competitive advantagelike fucking what? free shit games?
>>726150897Rich people don't stay rich by giving their money away
>>726150297>putting money back into the economy instead of using it to lobby and fuck consumers over is... bad!!!
>Oops sorry gamers, you wanted Half-Life 3? Well too bad, I'm too busy sipping champagne on my yacht. You'll still worship the ground I walk on anyway, you fucking suckers.
>>726150897>Ending world hungerNot possible>Curing cancerNot possible>building homes for the homelessLack of real estate is not the reason the homeless are homeless
My question is, wtf is he supposed to do with the money? I literally don't think he could spend it all if he tried.
Totally organic anti-billionaire thread, definitely not focusing on one asshole for a dumb reason
>>726150297It's his money he can do whatever he wants with it.
>>726150362This, feels good to see an ally thriving
>>726151228Which storefronts do better than Steam outside of GoG, faggot?
>>726151324>It solves every problem with SteamAnd what would those problems be
Why are most Steam threads recently being the living embodiment of pic rel?
>>726151058Why not spend money to stop people getting pets they don't need in the first place and stopping a culture of people getting pets they don't want due to them being pushed as a solution for no good reason despite being unsuitable for most people?
>>726151338>international luxury yachts is the same economy that ordinary people use to buy their videogamesLet me guess, giving money to Israel is better than feeding your kids.
>>726150362fpbp
>>726151281>and they pay devs for exclusivity, unlike SteamWhat does this have to do with proving Steam is not a monopoly?If anything it proves the opposite with how Steam is such a huge monopoly its customers won't budge even with the existence of exclusivesSony would be a monopoly if it sold 10-1 compared to Xbox while having no exclusives
>>726151390There are useful things in the world other than luxuries
>>726151390Tesla plans to pay Musk $1 trillion. They are dragons hoarding gold.
>>726150297Gabe is literally going to save the Earth with his fleet
>>726150297yes Gabe
/v/eddit trannies seething about Gaben now?>>726151472seems forced as fuck>>726151509>What does this have to do with proving Steam is not a monopoly?The fact a rival company pays for exclusivity means there's not a monopoly. Steam simply provides a better service
>people bitch how unexplored the ocean is>Gaben builds a fleet dedicated to marine research>"NOOOOOOOO, NOT LIKE THAT!">people bitch even moreIt's James Cameron all over again
>>726151228>Source?You made the claim it's a monopoly. Burden of proof is on you.

everytime i see posts like these>>726150362>>726150563>>726150401>>726150705im reminded that steam fans look like this >>726151419 and then it all comes together and suddently makes sense
>>726150386One for each day of the week
>>726151475Okay, what does funding pet ownership prevention look like?How practical is that compared to giving pets homes now?
>>726151472All it takes for evil (Gaben) to succeed is for good men (/v/) to do nothing
>>726150386At least 3 are tender vessels
>>726151448EGSIt buys games and launches games exactly the same as Steam
>>726151481Why the fuck would I need Gaben to feed my kids? I'm not some retarded cripple who can't get a job.
>>726151509WHERE ARE THE BETTER STOREFRONTS, FAGGOT
>>726150897None of those problems can be solved with money
>>726150297He provides a good service and he gets to spend its profits with whatever the fuck he wants. Why does this trigger so many people?
>>726151390Donate it to Israel

>>726151695>no cart for years>paid exclusivity >no actual userbase since everyone just uses the launcher for fortnite
>>726150386There are seven seas. One yacht per sea, obviously, so you don't have to waste time and money transporting them.
If Gabe was a good guy he would have instead used that 500 million to support LGBT youth the most attacked people in America right now instead of another yacht.
>>726151509well because you're bringing up a monopoly in the guise of being a deliberate anti-competition action steam takes while simultaniously being so much of a faggot cocksucker you're not fully acknowledging EPIC is doing the anti-competition shit by buying out games. hell epic has outright bought fucking game studios just to delist the game from steam (rocket league, fallguys) so its effectively forcing people to come over to the EGS now, steam hasn't done a fucking thing even remotely like that.I never understand these threads, I want to assume this willful ignorance is just trolling but epic dickriders seem way too convicted to defend timmy for some fucking reason. epic is blatantly attempting to be the actual monopoly of PC gaming and they're only failing because they're retarded while gabe is too busy sipping wine and fucking children on his 7 yachts to even lift a finger to respond
>>726151602Customer behavior determines what a monopoly isIt's like claiming Microsoft and Google aren't monopolies because Linux, Firefox and Yandex exist
>>726151719Its just some anti-billionaire tranny trying to force a fake Gabe hate and trying to fit in like >>726151626
>>726151602Reddit practically worships Gaben as a living god.
>>726151824>Shitendothursday's a coming
>>726151004I am normally pro-capitalism, I normally think rich people deserve the wealth that they earned, but Gabe Newell has wasted everything that has ever been given to him and used it to enrich himself with his army of cultists. Valve sits on the most valuable IP in the game industry and does absolutely fucking NOTHING with it. And you fucking Valve cultists let him get away with it. Keep playing your MOBA from 2007 and riding his chode.

>>726150297That is a lot better than fucking rubbing hand autistic rodents that just want to see the number go up and have no life plans other than see the number go up.People like this will make their own lives worse just to see the number go up.
Am I supposed to be upset that this guy has money?
>>726150297For some reason I always thought he was more practical than someone who'd buy a yacht, but I guess when you've been rich for a while things get boring fast.
>>726150297I don't hate on the big lad for spending his money how he wants, but it'd be cool if he used all of it to research more into crazy game tech/innovations in gaming purely for the research part of it.
>>726151993>Steamieyou're never gonna get this to catch on, it reeks of seethe
>>726151975why are you so obsessed with his yacht?>>726151957EGS is not a functional launcher. Epic store is awful
>>726152102im pretty sure its not strictly a pleasure yatch. more like a floating office for him to work on whatever he wants/science vessel
>>726152024GoG is objectively a better launcher in every aspect yet steammies won't budgeEither way thanks for agreeing that Valve, Google and Microsoft are monopolies regardless of the existence of tiny competitors

You guys know that all of Gabe's yachts are part of his marine research company's fleet, right?

>>726152301I also caved and got AW2 cause I couldn't wait any longer for it to come to Steam.for launching and buying games it's fine, no issue at all.I think it's just the social aspect that is missing, Steam makes it feel like you're interacting with the community when browsing games and stuff, even if it's just the review rating underneath the description of the game on its store page
>>726152520>muh social media features
>>726152676More like your god gaben like le trannies
>>726150579This anon gets it. Better to buy another hyper expensive thing you get to still own than burn that money on taxes.
>>726152191>>726152024If this was just about a launcher devs would put their games everywhere and just let customers use whatever store/launcher they wanted to. Steamworks is the real reason everyone uses Steam.

>>726152794Because trannies know how to code and have good taste in vidya? They're just as nerdy as you anon.
His yacht obsession is kinda weird. But better than throwing it in the the investor trough
>>726152732Here's a little tip. It's all about the social media features.Valvejeets, drones and trannies who live entirely on the internet only have Steam as their method of communicating. If you take steam away from them they'll be forced to socialize in the real world.
>>726150676Solve the worlds problems? Just a thought.
Have any of you poorfags experienced Playstation's storefront? It's fucking AWFUL. Fuck Gabe for removing Windows 7 support (yes, suck my ancient dick if you disagree) but holy shit I'd pick Steam over the competition every day of the week

>>726151472because 99.9999999% of steam threads are made by seething indians trying to make people hate steam so they for some reason switch to timmy's store I guess you can add chinese knife sellers to that number now

Why would you need more than one yacht? I know he can afford to buy multiple but they all do the same thing, right? Does he rent them out?
what if Steam turns into Temu with popups to try your luck in a $500 coupon bundle and if you land on it you just need to check out with two games to get the bundle but you'll get a chance to boost the bundle to $700 if you check out two more items

>>726151228What you faggots always ignore is that Valve didn't even want to create Steam. Why? Because it was a massive, MASSIVE risk back then. No one wanted to do it because such a service would cost a lot and there was no guarantees about it succeeding. The only games it had we're the Valve pack which included like 5 games. I'd say that the modern success is well deserved and they're still doing a decent job with the program. Steam still has the best UI for a game library with no annoying commercials everywhere and it's very straightforward. In other words, it's still a good product. In another universe, it was the end of Valve. Also, costumers choosing the best product isn't a monopoly, it's just good business.
>>726153242his yachts are built and outfitted to be deep sea research ships there is a shitload of ocean so having more than one ship doing it is good
>>726150386It's the moral duty of billionaires to provide jobs for yacht builders and crews. Frugal assholes like Buffet just sit on their cash or buy value stocks. Philanthropic assholes like Gates just use their money to feed hungry Africans. Yacht enthusiast billionaires are the only ones giving back in a helpful way.

He doesnt even do anything... well except bitch on twitter and never pay taxes.Meanwhile, 99.9% of the rest of the population that isn't in Africa or some other fourth world shithole, is barely surviving each week and going into debt and getting no where.This isn't Capitalism as it was originally coined (the gold standard for work). Its Neo Socialism / Extremely Late Stage Capitalism.You've got 100s of people falling over each other trying to apply for a job at Mcdonalds, because there is no work or jobs anymore. Meanwhile Gaben or equivilent CEO or Stock Broker made another $10 million today.Fucking needs to collapse.>But Gaben is a good guyI know he is. But 7 Yachts? Really?
Steam is a platform full of bloatware without any quality filter, we PC gamers must protect this in the name of freedom, democracy and Gabe ships.
>>726153609>JewishlyI find it strange how leftists are now openly using antisemitism to try and covertly appeal to the far-right. I guess horseshoe theory is right.

>>726153828I WILL BLOW IT OUT THEIR ASSES
Watching Gabe succeed while the businessmen who hate video games are floundering with their games-by-committee approach is worth every cent. Stupid scumbags trying to force micropayments and always-online into fucking single player games.We need to put them all in a raft and just have Gabe's ultra-yacht plow through it and leave nothing behind.
>>726153760>there should be a cap on how much money one individual is allowed to have.No there should not be you dysgenic commie retard.
>>726153609The cold war influenced America's culture a lot, to the point that you really can't really say anything about capitalism. It's a decent system but all systems need some regulating so they won't become corrupted. I find it hilarious when people defend straight up corruption and loopholes for... some reason?
>>726153609Why pay taxes when those taxes are just going to be used to feed more obese niggers and brownoids to breed?
>>726153903>micropaymentsHe's living off CS knives

What is he doing with so many yachts?

>>726154095timmy and his smelly horde are seething because timmy can't afford one
Why do rich people buy fucking yachts? It's such a retarded waste of money to maintain. Just buy a boat that you can drive and actually enjoy.
>>726150297Better to hire 100 yacht sailors/maintainers than 100 gamedevs
>Poor people pretending they wouldn't buy awesome things if they were mega rich.
>>726151419Huh they changed the color grading, weird. Here's the original.
>>726153962Was going to say Steam gift cards are the majority of his revenue, but you're right. It's TF2 crates and getting 20% of community trading Shit.Still, you can play TF2 without ever touching a key and it doesn't penalize you for doing so.
>>726154342>Mega rich are required to buy a yacht to avoid country laws
>>726153609>I'm not a communist but
>>726152467Thats a coverup story. They are emergency evacuation vehicles in case of shit going fully tits up. Since there are seven of them, probably some of them are not only for him but for his closest circle or even his employees.
>>726154020you dense fucking faggot cunt.PEOPLE CAN'T EVEN AFFORD SURGERY AT ALL. SO THE DOCTOR GETS PAID ANYWAY TO DO NOTHING. NOTHING. NOTHING.THIS IS THE SYSTEM YOU HAVE NOW AND YOU SAY ITS A GOOD ONE?
>>726150659I will not stop using a service that I enjoy and benefits me, just because it could possibly make someone ultra-rich, you retarded subhuman nigger.
>>726154095>Why does it matter Gabe has one?he has like 10 of themwhy does he need another one
>>726154342I'd buy something I didn't have to spend extra money to staff, maintain and keep at a harbor. I'd buy one of those water jetpacks.
>>726150659You're just jealous because you are an absolute fucking failure. You probably blame everyone but yourself for your failures and flaws.
>>726150897>Ending world hunger, curing cancer, building homes for the homeless?lmao how old are you? i know ur just saying stupid shit for (you)s but people legit think like ur post and its funny
>>726154342NOOOOOOOOO I WOULD TOTALLY GIVE ALL MY MONEY TO TAXES AND POOR PEOPLE I SWEAR STEAM IS A HECKING MONOPOLY AND NEEDS TO BE STOPPED I CANT EVEN RIGHT NOW
>>726153962>retards pay the optional retard tax>Gabe makes gaming on Linux viable and buys yachtsSounds perfectly fine to me
>>726154446Maybe he was inspired by the people who buy steam games they never play.
>>726150659You're just jealous because you are an absolute fucking failure. You probably blame everyone but yourself for your failures and flaws. I hope you find a way out of this dark pit you're in dude, things will get better if you want them to. You can do it!

I'd fuck me.
Fat corpo cocksuckers lost
you morons call me a commie. rich.go and buy more pokemon cards from costco and scalp them.youll make it eventually (lol, lmao)
>LOOK, GABEN BUYS A SUPERYACHT!!!>AREN'T YOU SUCH A BOOTLICKER FOR LIKING HIM???Okay, what's the down-to-earth, humble alternative? Fucking Epic Games? Give me a fucking break. Valve, as it is, is the least customer abusive service. I'd rather have Gaben buy a superyacht than give Microsoft, Tencent or any of the other slop shovellers a single fucking toe in the door when it comes to my games.
The rich are fleeing to the ocean and towns that they own. They want to be as far away from scrutiny and (You) as possible
>>726153760>This isn't Capitalism as it was originally coined (the gold standard for work)Except it is, it's literally working as intended, the one who owns the capital owns everything else and the rest get the scraps.Remember: You voted for and supported this without even understanding what you were voting for.>B...but muh gommies thoughlbeit
>>726150386taxesfuck it, Gabe is a cool dudehe earned it
>>726154436I agree with you but most doctors are on contract with the hospital/system rather than collecting some salary while running practice somewhere else and in a lot of states get to individually choose whether to contract with insurance or not, and even radiology gets billed by separate entity from the hospital. So in reality a lot of these are not getting paid if patient doesn't pay.
>>726154804Wouldn't you?
>>726154750you realize valve is on the sweet baby list, right
>>726150897>ending world hungerover 50 trillion was spent on that shit in the last 100 years. it doesnt work>curing cancerdeath sentence for anyone who does it>building homeswhy?

>>726154442the best part of the jeet crying about steam is hes seething that a guy who owns a GOOD service is succeeding while the other ultra-rich guy who runs a shitty service isn't successful

>>726154972I realize you are brown
Im okay with rich people owning things if they provide a good, fair service or product with customers in mind.
>>726153487>poorSays the retard who probably gives Valve $100 for wedding rings in TF2.
>>726154474dont you know you can just end hunger forever if you throw money at the problem? the decades of starvation in africa and the billions spent on food drops have totally fixed it! it hasn't created a new problem of the local food producers getting screwed over as free food is shipped in hurting the farmers, and the rest is taken by local warlords as another means of control
>>726154831>doesnt understand taxes at all>loves to suck gabe's chubby soft dickYou are the biggest faggot retard on the planet
>>726154194So just replace the corrupt politicians with people who will make sure taxes go to infratstructure, public transport, healthcare etc.?What's the problem? Why are you, as a broke working class, willing to die for billionaire's who don't see you as human?
is Tim sponsoring these threads?
>>726150386They found a glitch in taxes system so they don't have to pay shit.It will stay that way till more and more [not-worthy] people will start to buy the yachts so ((they)) will have to reconsider the taxes policy.
>>726154750Have you tried not sucking oligarch cock? Or does that hole always need to be filled in your life?
>>726150362based
>>726155165gaben hiring someone else in 2003 to compile an exe client and take 30% of every sale is not providing anything of worth except his own pockets.the dude who wrote the exe and compiled it for him? probably died homeless.
>>726150297sure Gaben if that's what you want
>>726150297Do you think he would send me $150k so I can fix my health and life if I wrote a letter?
>>726153487We paid $50 for games back in the day AND we owned them. How much Jew cock are you slobbering on right now? Be real.
>>726150362Fiopy bippyCommie and socialist scum HATE this post
>>726150362Why are drones like this
>>726155262no he's actually rightthe reason everyone has a private jet and a yacht is it counts as deductible "work related transportation expenses"
>>726155407rich people are vampires.they wouldn't give you a dollar for a piece of bread.
>>726155296why should I give my money to billionaires who don't see me as human over giving it a guy who provides a good service that I like why should I care that he spends his money on ocean research instead of pissing it away on bombs to hit mudhuts
>>726153772How is it anti semitic? No other group of people have politicians visiting their country to kiss that wall. No other group ot people get this level of unparalleled support.
>>726152925You're saying Gaben should use his money to destroy Israel? How the fuck would he do that?
>>726155379Newell worked at Microsoft programming for 10+ years before starting Valve. He led development on porting Doom to Windows 95. He didn't just money his way to first place.
>>726155517Yeah I kind of suspect that, I tried to ask people who have tens of millions already on 4chan (got lucky on crypto) and I concluded that they're all the worst scum in the world.
>>726155430"Man makes money""Man spends money on what he wants"this is somehow evil
>>726155407>>726155517ill go even further with this sentiment.if every rich person gave some money to the other 99.9% of people, everyone would have $100k and be well off.someone did the math and yes, bringing a rich person down would make EVERY OTHER PERSON ON THE PLANET at equal wealth.

>>726155423$50 dollars "back in the day" in early 2000s is like $120 of today's dollarsthe only thing that makes these 60 and 70 dollar price points bad in current year is that they could definitely afford to make it 40 or 50 at their current costs of production, yes even supposed AAAA games.
>>726155684Ok and then? If everyone could afford a place to live, how the fuck would economy work moron?
>>726153760>there should be a cap on how much money one individual is allowed to have.Rothschild family would never allow that because they own about 70% of the worlds money.

I wish more billionaires kept their mouths shut and fucked off forever on a boat
>>726155684someone did the math and if they liquidated 100% of the assets of every rich person it would run the US for a few months
>>726155653He's making fun of you, not Gabe. Try to keep up lil valve cultist
>>726155734Not even mentioning the microtransactions. Very clever Shlomo.
>>726155907lol
>>726155476>work related expensesI worked in a tax audit law firm for 15 years, I am not about to be lectured about work related expenses from a gay, retarded, ugly, nigger dick eating baby girl like you. Why dont you go buy a yacht? Oh thats right, you're poor and your parents hate you. Cunt.
why should I used objectively worse services over the good service I've used for years?So some rich retard backed by china can line his pockets instead?
>>726153772Everyone hates Jews, and rightfully so.
>>726151995Wealth disparity is good because the "solutions" to it would destroy the incentives to provide the goods and services that made those people rich.
>>726155764you wouldnt need an economy.oh, the economy? that keeps shrinking food sizes but doubles prices?that buys 99% of its goods from slave labor from china and sells it here as some premium product worth having?you know what the economy would be? everyone would have a home, basic appliances and electronics, food/water etc, and you wouldnt need to worry about a fucking economy built to grow the rich and drown the poor.yeah man, its such a great economy. onlyfans slut and asmongloid make MILLIONS while you shovel gravel for half minimum wage so theyd hire you instead of an indian.fuck you.this planet will never be a eutopia. its like the bible says. too many morons and we wouldn't find the way ourselves.
>>726156049Who are you talking to?
>>726155814If you were the executive lawyer of a notorious tax auditing law firm for 15 years like I was, you would know that unless he keeps the video games on the boat it is still subject to taxation. Retard
>people in this thread seriously think that Gaben is deducting the yachts from his taxeswhat
>>726156237That's why billionaires make donations, yes.
Gaben just made another billion and his bought his 7th yacht!But I'm not Economically Viable!

I'd hire assassins to take out kike leaders and funders of corrupt politicians, foreign mossad agents in our land. Larry Fink, Soros, Rothschild, and any faggot thinking about taking their evil thrones.If I could, I'd buy bombs to destroy israels supply connections, desalination plants, also their zionist trash leader netanyahu. Bomb mecca's gay cube. Bomb india's scam call centers and every fag shitting into the indian ocean. Bomb every ADL center that's parasitically next to FBI, Amazon, and other bullshit where they monitor everyone. Bomb every centralized bank directly funding blackrock's pool. Hit them in their wallets and send them back to the fucking stone age until they submit. I want absolute destruction of sources of evil.

>>726155636doom is trivial to port, particularly from dos to 95
>>726150897World hunger and housing are solvable issues, the problem is the way you solve it becomes a welfare/demoralization problem because when people see non-productive people getting handouts they start to question why they should exert effort so other people can benefit when they could do nothing and get stuff for free as well. Eventually more people are adding to the strain of society rather than the relief of it.Cancer will likely never be thoroughly solved, mostly due to the monetary incentive of leaving it unsolved but also due to the ever changing aspect of nature where illnesses, flu and diseases are ever evolving
gaben bought his new yacht. in other news...dont go to biz right now
>>726156229he has 15 gaming PCs installed on therehe can claim a lot of things for it to be work related
>>726156529Nope just Valve has a standard of no media ownership. You'll have to live with thay fact. Also to answer your question, stick with Steam. You seem happy owning nothing.

They're understaffed and no one has time to look that deeply into all these tax loopholes being used.
>>726156819Yeah just ignore the fact that the games were physical releases back then and not purely digital thus had to pay the cost of manufacturing. Ignore how they were purposely increased to $60 by the start of Gen 7 just 20 years ago. Ignore how they keep inching upward due to greed and that we're heading quickly towards $80-100 being the norm.
>>726156529>since the PS3Dumbest valvjeet. I can start a physical PS5/Switch and even Shitbox collection right now without many drawbacks. Literally impossible to do it for PC cause your fat greedy jew botched the whole market to afford his yachts.At least you can gift some (((digital))) games to your tranny e-GF, sodomite.

>>726155423We paid $80 for a game in the early 90s and $20 extra for the voice acting. And that's not adjusted for inflation.

>>726157117Products cost what people are willing to pay. Blaming greed like you've never heard of supply and demand makes you sound like you're still in middle school. Just stop buying them you faggot, all those old games that used to cost $50 now cost $10 or less, go play them.

>>726150297>>726150362>>726150386These are research vessels being used to scan the ocean and test the water for various pathogens. He didn't just buy seven "yachts" by the way. He bought the company that makes these custom boats so that he can have more control over what equipment he can attach to them to serve whatever need the researchers he hired have.So once again OP is a fag and it looks like both the first and second posts are fags too. Just a bunch of baiting morons who likely already know what the boats are actually being used for.
>>726154715>goodbye horses...
>>726157372>We paid $80 for a game in the early 90sThat was due to the cost of cartridges from Nintendo being roughly $20 and then manufacturers had to speculate how many units to produce on top of the added storage that were unique to each game.And again, you're refusing to include how modern day games have microtransactions that restrict access to features that use to be NORMAL in games.
>>726150297I wasn't always like this but it is getting to the point I'm not hating the "eat the rich" as much anymore. That said, Gabe shouldn't be harmed. The amount of scumbag shit I expect Steam to pull after he's gone is scary.
>>726157515>the average Steamturd userSave this pic brother, it will come in handy
>>726150781Gabe newell makes several million times as much money as me. I am engineer that works to save buildings from fire.Now you need to tell me what he does that is worth one million times as much and why YOU think it is actually worth that much.Mind you, I was downloading videogames well before steam was a thing and so were you.
>>726150386Gabe is trying to find a entrance to the hollow earth so he can find super aryan people that will make him immortal and eventualy defeat the archons and free us from this hell plane. We must give Gabe our power, so he can solve each archon vowel riddle. Trust the plan.

>>726156839>really makes you thinkNot really, I already addressed there's a monetary incentive not to solve the problem for the world as a whole.
>>726150297Why is this supposed to be bad again? Subhumans (publishers, devs, paypiggies) exist to be exploited. The fatman WILL tax you and fund Linux development with it and there's nothing you can do about it.
>>726157091Thats nice, my gay, retarded black sister in law is an accountant too. Basically, you don't know anything about yachts and taxes and you look like a bitch

>>726158183He doesn't get shit on enough for stopping making games. It's beyond clear his real passion is power from wealth, and not game development.
>>726157946>I'm a wageslaveSo was Gabe when he worked for Microsoft but he wanted more in life so he set off on his own and took a risk. It paid off. You don't have the guts to do what he did.
>>726158063but you're the one shitting yourself and seething because no one wants to stop using a good store and instead suck off timmy tencent
I'm glad God made it so no man can bring his riches to heaven. In the eyes of God, we are all equal. Those with money only have the higher ability to segregate themselves from the will of God to dance in the storm of degeneracy.
>>726158294It really hurts your feelings that people genuinely don't like Gabe, huh?
>>726158312Why don't you?
>>726158295I see, I misunderstood. I agree, everyone should just pirate.
We should pray for Gaben, because at this rate he shall surely go to hell.

>>726158450Most Valve games, especially the ones you're obsessed with from nostalgiafaggotry, fucking suck. No one cares. They've never been better than they are now as UMPC manufacturers and Linux sponsors. I hope that lambda tatoo (literal fag symbol) haunts you forever.
>gabe provides for shipbuilders and scientists meanwhile what has timmy done? oh yeah he took jobs away from hundreds of people so he could keep living in his mansion
>>726158363Any explanation for what I'm supposed to glean from that or is it just a straight up non-sequitur?
>>726158450Look, anon, if I could live a great luxury life, buy a yacht, and play videogames on it for the rest of my days, it'd be living a dream. I wouldn't have developed shit too.I guess it depends on whether you have a vision and a desire to tell a story too. I also don't think I have a story to tell in the age of plenty of almost free professiona game engines.
>>726158268and he would've lostThe whole reason the payment processors started doing this censorship shit isn't because they're moralfags, it's because when pornhub got sued over CP they were found culpable as well. Now they are forced to not allow anything that could possibly be illegal anywhere to be bought with their services (keep in mind that some places have batshit crazy laws and will actually put people in prison over drawings). Gabe can't sue and get a judge to tell them to do shit a different judge has already told them not to do and financially raped them over.
>>726150297>be gabe>own a marine research company>own a yacht producing company>make a massive boat outfitted with hospital and a deep sea diving vehicle for free>fund marine research with scientists on board>give scientists plenty of leisure activities to relax so they make good research>plans to release research for freewhy do people say they hate journalists but they keep eating up this rageslop
>>726158860money is the root of all evil.so it explains why the ultra wealthy can have a cure of their cancer, while the 99.9% die from it.have you known someone who died of cancer who was close to you?they could've been cured of not for the rich evil.
>>726158762Is not a secret anon, unless you think this thing a party yatchhttps://luxurylaunches.com/transport/gabe-newell-explorer-vessel-08172025.php
>>726158952Which explains the point I already made, thanks for verifying.
>>726158770If there is one thing to gleen from Nintendo and the negativity surrounding key cards is that people started talking about media formats. And a lot of people are hell-bent on keeping people silent about what digital media actually means for the consumer, and what consumers have lost over the years.
>>726159034you didnt make any point?you just said "hurr they rich they deserve the cure u dont"fucking dog cunt
>>726158809It's something I'll continue to criticize him for, and there's nothing you can do about it. Sound good?
>>726159092>you just said "hurr they rich they deserve the cure u dont"Show me where I said that
>>726150659I'd ask you to kill yourself, but I doubt you have a life that could be ended in the first place.
>marine biologists aren't real they're just a front for yacht ownersI don't understand why people have to make up retarded schizo shit to justify why they don't like someone. You could just say "i don't like gabe newell" without having to attach some retarded shit at the end of that statement.
>>726153178>True gamers pirateWoah cool it with the antisemitic remarks.
>>726150386He knows the icecaps will melt.
>>726158762Gabe dropped the source code of Half Life 3 at the bottom of the Challenger Deep.
>>726158875Good to know.
>>726159161>I'll seetheThat's right, loser.
Had no idea the yachts were for marine research purpose despite not hating him before, but now I have even less reasons to hate him.Sounds like your thread backfired op.
>>726150297Your post scream inferiority, and also poorfag. Stay mad.
>>726158762You're just a midwit who believes clearly fake ragebait
>>726159250>also poorfagAre you implying you also own a yacht?
>>726158938>how many possible tax writeoffs can I stack? All I care about is minmaxing my wealthWhat a greedy man.
>>726158465Go out and hire 30 people right now.Try it.Go tell a bank about your great idea that will make millions of dollars, see what happens.It's not about having billion dollar idea, billions of people have billion dollar ideas all the time.It's about knowing the right jew, and sucking the right cock.You don't even need a good idea.Nor do you need to be original or first.You don't need to work hard, you don't need to make the right investments, the rat race isn't something you can escape by making more rats run on the wheel with you.The world works by a small clique, those inside and the rest of us outside.We are on the 'let them eat cake' phase of society, and you are living in the 1700'sGuess what!The industrial revolution happened, and that changed many things while you were sleeping.
>>726159278No, you're just not smart enough to understand that fish aren't real, they're something that the elites made up to have an excuse to control the ocean. Everytime you buy a game on steam you're helping to spread big ocean's lie.
>>726159278>clearly fake ragebaitsuch as?
>>726158938you have to remember, all the "REEEEE VALVE BAD GABE BAD" spam comes from 3 groups:Indians working from epic games in their pathetic attempt to force social media to turn on valve, there has been multiple cases showing Epic's intent for thisChinese seething that Gabe snapped their retarded knife market over his knee to make it better for the normal people using steam and playing CSand Playstation fanboys anally ravaged because steam has their games and by existing competes with sony 1 and 3 have a lot of overlap
>>726159343Of course anon, don't you know everybody here makes 600,000 a year minimal. We all work from home too except we don't do any work. You didn't know that? I thought this was yacht ownership only board. Isn't that why its blue?
>>726159409The other anon clearly isn't even 30 yet. He'll learn.
>>726159242Pointing out he stopped making games when he became wealthy is just a fact that I simply stated. Negative emotions are what you're feelign towards me right now because I criticized your billionaire idol.
>>726158620That's because you aren't smart enough to know you should be.You're being fucked by an ownerclass, I'm just pointing it out, but you like it, you enjoy being cucked, you're not envious at all.
>>726159343YesI was also rich enough to afford a launch PS3 with one game
>>726159179>Cancer will likely never be thoroughly solved, mostly due to the monetary incentive of leaving it unsolved but also due to the ever changing aspect of nature where illnesses, flu and diseases are ever evolvingso you said due to money (evil people), cancer will remain not a cure to everyone else. I show you a quote from the bible confirming this to you as an act of evil not monetery difference. you tell me what can you even gleam from the info i presented you. i spoonfeed you. you then turn around and say "thanks for confirming what i said".The monetery incentive to leave it unsolved? so you defend the ultra rich having a cure? nice.>but also due to the ever changing aspect of nature where illnesses, flu and diseases are ever evolvingoh. so im arguing with an athiest and a "believe the science" moron.i bet you have the most punchable face and are balding.
>>726159248>I had no idea he used yachts as marine research and a business hub specifically to write off taxesAnd now you know.
>>726159573>when he became wealthy He was a microsoft executive. You think that he wasn't wealthy until after he founded valve?
>>726159573He was wealthy before Valve existed.
>>726159719Correct he didn't have fuck-you wealth until he founded a PC storefront tycoon. He was just clocking hours for someone else up until then. >>726159724You don't understand wealth because you're broke as shit.
>>726159716prove it
>>726158962Looks far closer to some advanced military research vessel than some recreational yacht. Looks good for fending off pirates.
>>726159917>zoom zoom had no idea Gabe was rich from microsoftoops
>>726150297Take all my money you fat fuck
>>726159917you seem upset that he made a good service that people want I'll start giving a shit when he starts doing evil things like paying to keep games off other stores or having people killed so he can steal the rights to things for himself
>>726150297>isn't there someone you forgot to ask
>>726150297Retards think yachts are a blessing
>>726159931His finances are private. We'll have to wait until his son takes Steam public.
>>726160217So you made it up?
>>726159707>you said due to money (evil people), cancer will remain not a cure to everyone elseCorrect>I show you a quote from the bible confirming this to you as an act of evil not monetery difference. you tell me what can you even gleam from the info i presented you. i spoonfeed youNope, you just confirmed what I insinuated rather than me supposedly saying "hurr they rich they deserve the cure u dont">The monetery incentive to leave it unsolved? so you defend the ultra rich having a cure?Nowhere in my posts am I defending it, I'm pointing out a fact.
>>726160217>he thinks this will happen >you guize gabe totally raised his son to be so retarded that he would give away an infinite money machine
>>726160101PC storefronts are a disservice. A good service was shelves of PC games at Target and Walmart.
does Gay Ben have raunchy parties on his boat like Wolf of Wall Street?
I just want one small house/apartment before I fucking die so I don't become homeless.
>>726150897Why don't you spend your personal funds on that?
>>726150897Shut the fuck up, Tim, where's my free games?
>>726160310zoom zoom it was not >buy game >it doesn't work >try to return it >can't because the stores have no return policies for computer games
>>726155540>why should I give my money to billionaireswe're basically forced to? how was this even a response to anon's question? i have to pay visa any time i want to buy something without being there in person, and visa wants to kill my vidya. i don't have a choice in the matter and that's fucked up.what anon is asking is WHY DEFEND THEM AS IF THEY'RE IN THE RIGHT
>>726160179me when i lose in a videogame and have an autistic meltdown
>>726160262It's my best educated guess since I'm fairly wise to investing and wealth management.
>>726160310I remember big box PC games. Those fucking things never went down in price. Never. And if you got conned by a magazine into buying a shitty game, good luck returning it. I like Steam way better.
>>726151472They're all posted by tim.
>>726160503where is gabe forcing anything don't use steam, hes not doing the kinds of evil shit the credit card companies or politicians are doing to steal from you
>>726151158>MAKING FUCKING VIDEOGAMESYou do realize nobody in a company spends their own money on the company, right? Gabe buying yachts isn't stopping Valve from making games
>>726160475Worked on my machine>>726160614My memories are different from yours
>>726150386Because he can. Why do you need more justification than that?
>>726158673Trust me, anon. I am right there with you. Hold strong. I am with you in spirit!
>>726150297I remember from 2005-2010 you could email Gabe and reliably get replies. I wish I would had the networking skills back then, that I have now. Uncle GabeN would be finding the best doctors to get rid of my tumors. Maybe a car, since I lost mine and he feels bad about it. And probably like 5/6 gold bars.Instead I get to say I worked on huge albums, made musicians popular, and a bunch more to be able to say “well I got credited” my favorite is when I got “paid” in merch of my own design, along with a thank you note and a box that contained physical copies of every album they’d put out to that point with the one I’d worked on early. Lemme tell you boys something, being one degree of separation away from Drake, The Weeknd, Trent Reznor? It doesn’t do you the favors you think it will. You’re some weird asshole they saw once or twice. Maybe I’m too autistic to understand.
>>726159707you did not take your meds
>>726158962There you have it, folks. In his own words. Gabe never wanted to make video games. He doesn't care about video games at all. Is it any wonder he runs his company the way he does?
Of all the rich CEOs in the realm of capitalism, I think we can all agree Gabe deserves to flaunt his fuck you money most of all. Guy is clearly a real one and has stayed true to himself and his roots. So he got a giant boat, who cares?
>>726160614its funny the redditor trying to use ultima as an example, as if ultima wasn't the exception to the rule most PC games you bought in box were just the disk, the manual, and some ads for other games the devs made
>>726150297>FUCK LATE STAGE CAPITALISM>OMG BASED GABEN YOU DESERVE A FIVE STORY SUPER YATCHwhy are gamers like this?
>>726160817fuck off yes i have.is being a 35 yr old neet khv loser not enough for society?gaben gets another yahct YAY GO GABENill be lucky to eat next week.I cant work because of my autism or i would.
>>726160914>I'm getting assraped time to samefag the my OP and pretend I haven't gotten violated hundreds of times Why are epicshills like this?
>>726158363Iron age Jews have no power or say in 2025
>>726160858Fuck Gabe. He doesn't give a shit about video games, he said so himself >>726160826
>>726160959>i cant work because of my autismnot a real disability
>>726160826Yeah he stopped caring a long time ago. This would be like people thinking Elon Musk really likes space travel or online payment systems. Just wealth generators to him.
>>726150297Parasite living in excess off other people's labor.Rich people need to die.
>>726161017>WHY ISNT GABE DOING SHIT HE SUPPOSEDLY DOESNT LIKE AND MAKING IT WORSE FOR EVERYONE
>>726161048Elon's dream has always been to go to Mars. Everything else he's done was a side quest.
>>726161023well, 100 years ago they wouldve killed me off as NOT ECONOMICALLY VIABLE TO LIVE.Why do I have to live in this thresher?My grandpa worked for 10 years and he owned his home, 2 cars, everything.I could work 50 years and have nothing.Is that a fair deal?
>>726153760>there should be a cap on how much money one individual is allowed to have.Dumb faggot socialists still have not been able to answer WHY there needs to be such a "cap". And no, you being jealous and life being unfair is not an answer.
>>726161007keep hoping on that fat lard
Reminder that Gabe stepped up to let Hatred onto Steam despite everyone else being all "it's far too violent and edgy"He's a very anti-censorship guy.
>>726161135Nice strawman
>>726161175have you tried getting a job?
>>726161087this but only evil rich like tim sweeney
>>726153760>there should be a cap on how much money one individual is allowed to have.Why?
>>726150657Seethe more sharty kike. Go spam CP on altchans
>>726150297https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=03nUMw7japIHe's gonna buy a oil rig soon, I know it.>>726151372punished gabe, a man with no name.
>>726161236no. and i wont.why should I do the same job my grandfather did for 5 times longer to have less than he did?lmao.dont you read the room?everyone has checked out of this clown society. thrown in the towel.
>>726161175Invest $700/month in a good growth stock mutual fund, and in 30 years you'll have 1.5 million dollars.
>>726161213Hatred was so lame. Just boomers pissing themselves over "LE MASS SHOOTER GAME" when nobody ever complains about call of duty where you shoot many more people.
>things have gotten so bad that a man doing absolutely nothing is seen as a beacon of good and oh he's done such good for usGrim.
>>726161213Remember that Tim sweeney went out of his way to censor games on EGS, then let NFT and crypto scam slop in instead Valve has always been the good guys in the PC market
its not him having superyacths you should worry about. its where the fuck he is parking these boats or taking them to.
>>726161296>immediately dropped the "uwu i can't work i have autism :(" horseshit after getting called outlmao
>>726152191If a better option existed people would use them. Steam does nothing to prevent other companies making their own storefronts, in fact they do the opposite and push for cross comparability between games regardless of where you buy it. Just because no one can make anything better doesn't make it steams fault.
>>726160702Guess it's harder to remember when you didn't pay for them yourself. There's a reason PC gaming was considered horseshit for the longest time. Shitty store policies, shitty industry press, computers were relatively expensive and harder to build.>>726160870>most PC games you bought in box were just the disk, the manual, and some ads for other games the devs madeAnd you couldn't fucking return the game because you installed it. The store could possibly think you just copied the CD. That's why you couldn't return them. On a console, the disk holds the data. If the game isn't in your Playstation, you can't play the game.
>>726161330You don't see a difference between playing as a guy shooting unarmed civilians and playing as a soldier shooting armed combatants? This isn't an argument in favor of censorship at all just saying your comparison is retarded.
>>726161373there is this weird thing, where... lets call them NPCs.they have to defend rich people, rich corporations, celebrities.i have no idea what causes it but its fascinating.its like MK Ultra but way worse and the experiement wasnt a failure.
>>726161189Easy, it's because constantly sucking wealth out of an economic system into a few individuals pockets leads to runaway inflation. more money needs to be printed as less and less money is available. So mamy people have paid so much money to keep this information from your ears. It's just simple math.
>>726161373>everything that competes with the man who does nothing is actively malicious to the userbase and even openly mocks them saying how little they matter >retards go nuclear when people like the guy who does nothing more
>>726150386First he just likes boats, but many of his fleet are using experimental expensive-as-fuck eco-friendly alternatives to conventional maritime systems, he lends out to all kinds of people doing environmental research. As I recall, he also bought a company that builds these ships and subs. These aren't just party boats (though some are for his personal/friends use. His latest one has a fucking arcade, a 10+ PC LAN room, and his own personal PC where someone snapped a picture that he had a drink, a bowl, and his slippers/sandals next to it suggesting he's actually using the thing. It can also use a submarine, launches, a whole beach club and other shit). Here's an older example from earlier in the yearhttps://luxurylaunches.com/transport/gabe-newell-explorer-vessel-08172025.phpwhere he's literally deciding to bring the SteamOS free as in freedom Linux approach to oceanic research! So between his personal boats and the Inkfish research vessels he's got quite a a few, but fuck if I can't respect him for it. I mean, billionaires as a concept are a shitty idea that make the world worse, but Gaben seems to be one of the least shitty and most ethical ones out there. He didn't make his fortune by shitting up the world even more, he isn't constantly grandstanding, he's not pouring billions into trying to fuck over the common person through regulatory capture and other political manuvering etc... he has more money than he could ever use, so he puts it towards philanthropic ventures that benefit the common good rather than just on-paper tax dodge, purchasing art or land to sit in some sort of trust forever, or any of the other shit out there We still need to end the concept of a billionaire but Gaben is a bit like a benevolent dictator in that one coming around once in a blue moon is respectable, but you don't justify a system that is geared towards exploitation because out a tiny outlier
>>726157946because he provides 5,000,000 more value to humanity than you do as evident by the free marketand the only reason he is paid only 1,000,000 more time and not 5,000,000 is because you're a government parasite most likely living on other's people money
>>726161434i refuse to work in a society that doesnt reward hard work anymore.I dont care what you have to say.If I was born 50 years ago, i would've owned a portfolio of houses like all the greedy baby boomers, for doing barely anything except being born at the right time (post world war 2).
>>726161434Anon makes a legit point. If I knew how to secure neetbux I'd join him.
>>726161535why did you lie and say that you were unable to work because of a disability?
>>726161175>well, 100 years ago they wouldve killed me off as NOT ECONOMICALLY VIABLE TO LIVE.And now everyone suffers the terrible consequences of not killing the mentally ill.
>>726161447>PC gaming was considered horseshit for the longest time.No it wasn't.
>>726150297I kinda expected him to be some sore of philanthropist. This is sorta disappointing.
>>726160826>people hate their job after doing it for 10+ years>enjoys playing games rather than making themthat's normal unless you're autistic. it also explains why steam is so much more consumer centric than other companies, cuz they focus more on the player than devs and publishers.
>>726161373wouldn't be surprising if he enters politics and champions wokeness and /v/ jumps up and down saying they were always woke.
>>726161449sorry shill but when every alternative is objectively worse in everyway people will support the best one
>>726151158Deadlock, Half Life Alyx, CS2 are all recent gamesDo your homework first, troon
>>726161549Why? Working and cutting a living is easier than being poor.
>>726161565
>>726159409>It's not about having billion dollar idea, billions of people have billion dollar ideas all the time.LMFAO, yeah that's why when normies win the lottery, they end up dead broke.Stop being fucking delusional you stupid socialist wage slave. You don't have a "next billion dollar" idea and neither do your 95 IQ wage slave peers, and none of you know even how to begin to execute.Money is actually very cheap these days, and usually not a bottle neck. Interest rates are near 0, and any moron is willing to lend money to anyone with a half decent ability to run a business.The problem is not lack of money, it's lack of competent entrepreneurs.t. I work in a VC firm
>>726161610>cuz they focus more on the player than devs and publishers.truke
>>726161719no, it's because you're a bad person that pretends you have a mental illness to excuse everything you do. not really much of a difference from tumblr types self-diagnosing themselves with a bunch of different mental illnesses
>>726161449I think that's a bit of a stretch to say they have to defend all those. There's plenty of brain dead people saying "every wrong choice I've ever made is a rich person's fault." At the same time the points being made are just brushed off as "no you're just lazy" those people are retarded and have no idea what a job search right now is like. Nor do they have any idea what its like trying to start a family without wealthy family support. >>726161486I agree with this, its still absolutely abysmal its gotten this bad. In a normal world, everybody would be saying Gabe is a pos for not giving HL3 and fucking off on water adventures but because we know how bad it can get "you only rent your game by the month" "you can't buy that game here" "you said bad word on game? Steam account entirely gone no refunds" I'm fully expecting all of these once Gabe is gone.
>>726161832how much will you cope when steam doesn't turn into EGS the nano-second gabe kicks the bucket?
>>726161829oh i made it up?so why do I get $2500 a month for it then as welfare?
>>726161485lol stfu dumb faggot. Stop trying to centrally plan the economy. If you are an economic loser in capitalism, which is by far the easiest system to make money in, you will be in an even bigger economic loser in any other system.
>>726161928You seem to want an argument but I'm not in the mood. Its what I expect. Cry about it if you want but don't go kicking and screaming when it starts happening.
>>726161946you made that up too you lying faggot
>>726162062if i started a full 9-5 job, id get about 20% more money then what i get now DOING NOTHING. thats before taxes.>you made that up too you lying faggotyou don't have centrelink in USA do you? im sorry you live under trump man.
>>726161535No you fucking wouldn't. You would have spent all your money on expenses like you do now, and wouldn't save and invest anything. If you can't invest money today, you definitely could not do it 50 years ago. Investing money today is easier than ever.
>>726161946What do I do to obtain this power? I'll glue a shoe to my head when I see the doctor if I have to. Maybe I can tell them I play a lot of Paradox games? I've also removed several toe nails maybe that counts enough of crazy to get me a check but not so crazy they put me in a jacket?
>>726161448You literally shoot a whole airport of people in mw2. You play as terrorists in multi-player.
>>726162135>n-no please believe menope, kill yourself instead
>>726162165my grandfather didnt need to (((invest))) or borrow.he fucking paid off his house in full himself in 10 years.do i need to spell it out in more basic english or?
>>726161298>Just $700 a month broAnon, most working people can't afford a single one time $500 unplanned expense. This advice is not for what hes talking about there - if you have $700 you can invest every month you'r already living better than most. This kind of thing is on the same advice level as >Just ask your parents for a loan and buy a property / start your startup / have them pay for your shit while you take the high powered internship etcNice if you have that kind of access, but most do not. And no >Uh just don't buy a latte or avocado toast brostyle shit is not going to help. Its a good thing to save for your future if you can do it but fewer and fewer are in a position to do so at a meaningful amount / at all, and even those that do will have to contend with a lot of shit going wrong in the years to come. Even some X'ers that started saving for their potential retirement are getting cleaned out by medical and other needs that are out of scale in cost from what they expected when they put stuff away decades ago. >>726161946>$2500 If in the US, explain what programs you're using. Its nearly impossible to get that amount equivalent even if you manage to fight through the massive years long campaign to qualify for them, denial after denial.
>>726162165That doesn't sound right. Isn't the average spending money for nearly every civilian been going down? Rather dramatically over the last 6 years?
>>726161448>You don't see a difference between playing as a guy shooting unarmed civilians and playing as a soldier shooting armed combatants? No, because I have an IQ above 120 and can tell apart fiction and reality. They are not "civilians" they are pixels on a screen.
>>726162329and those pixels represent what?
>>726162030I'm like 1/5th the way towards my first million liquid and I've only been debt free for 5 years. If you think I only hold my beliefs because I'm scraping by on welfare it's because someone paid billions of dollars to coach you into this mindset. Don't bother posting a rebuttal for my last post btw, you won't change my mind.
>>726162053>nonononononono steam WILL die when gabe does! his son WILL give away a money printer for pennies!
>>726162273>If in the US, explain what programs you're usingim not in the US.So I'm on Disability Welfare.I get $2500 a month. In your currency, its $1600 a month.I get free healthcare.I get free bus/train usage.I get a free house to basically live in and pay low rent to government.I am a neet king and i dont need to even work again.Now, if the economic situation changes from needing to work 50 years to own a home to 10 years again, I might take up a job. ;>
>>726151228The idea of monopolies being bad is just Jewish governmental propaganda. Private free enterprise businesses cannot force you to spend money on them. If you don't want to support Amazon or Steam don't take advantage of their extremely convenient and easy to use services.
>>726162485How do I get this? Where do I have to move to?
>>726162513but monopolies bad! the government should have 100% of the control of this industry so there can be no mean monopoly
>>726162513Good goy.
>>726162620nowhere, it's 100% bullshit
>>726162620if your not a citizen already you wont get it. also indians, chinese, muslims coming over in the boat loads.basically we're full.
>>726162172If you're in the US its a punishing system by intent. You could try that stuff, and after years of denials they'd come out claiming you're acting crazy without a fuckload of documentation. They'll say you can work in some special aspie program where you sort screws and the overseers have been told to ignore the fact you're screeching that your ass itches every few minutes or whatever the hell. Its hard enough for people who are actually crippled in some way to get any benefit and even if they do, for any decent compensation for a variety of reasons. I could explain to you the specifics but suffice it to say >Say you're scared of going outside or act like a tism stereotype, stay inside all day play vidya on free money is not viable.

>>726162273>Anon, most working people can't afford a single one time $500 unplanned expense.I'd argue they're living the life wrong. There. I said it. Irrespective of shit terrbile wages and everything being overpriced, and inflation, there are ways to save money, if you set you mind to it.The most obvious example is don't fucking live by yourself in an overpriced shed. It's a juicy scam. Live with your family. If you have no family, arrange for roommates. Splitting the cost of living over 2, better 3 people, results in incredible fucking savings. You go from wasting at least 1k on month on it, to wasting 350 dollars on it. There are your 650 dollars to invest.I won't even touch on things like>quit drinking overpriced garbage (alcohol in clubs, energy drinks, coca-cola). Health benefits too.>quit gambling>quit buying mtx in games and pre-ordering. just buy on sales. if you have a backlog already, it's ez as fuck.>quit smoking (weed, cigarette, even cigars are all a waste of money.t. quit cold turkey after 20 years of smoking 1 pack+ cigarettes a day. it's a money sink and it kills you.Everything I'm talking about applies of course to the first world countries. Obviously if you're a regional farmer making 100 dollars a month, you're more or less fucked on a global scale.There are way more ways to save money. Quit ordering takeout every day. Quit buying 2k dollar phones every year. And so on, and so forth.TL;DR: Quit wasting your fucking money.
>>726162670>nowhere, it's 100% bullshit
>>726162258>my grandfather didnt need to (((invest))) or borrow.>he fucking paid off his house in full himself in 10 years.I paid off my house in 5 years, what's your point? If you don't have self restraint necessary to save,invest or borrow today, you wouldn't magically have it 50 years ago. 99% of people today can't stick to brushing your teeth for 10 years most likely, let alone diligently saving for a house.>>726162292Because of no fault of their own? It's been "going down" just by itself? Have you seen the average "civilian" in the work force today? The fact that these people have enough money not to starve to death is an injustice.Yes, houses were "cheaper" 50 years ago, relative to the median income, but they were also 30%-40% smaller, and mortage interest rates were like 10%-15%. Stop fucking whining
>>726162747It doesn't count if I'm from the EU and move there? Unfortunately I'm in the shittiest EU country that doesn't have gibs at all.
>>726162814>I paid off my house in 5 years, what's your point?aww, parents nest egg must be nice. good for you. gonna go for a 2nd investment property?
>>726162787how long did it take you to inspect element that?
>>726162620You have to move to a country in scandanavia that his the highest income tax on earth. Don't bother trying to move, they don't accept immigrants because their system is on life support.
>>726162814>>Yes, houses were "cheaper" 50 years ago, relative to the median income, but they were also 30%-40% smallerDude we're talking about the exact same fucking house.
>>726162371Get that video game away from me I'm allergic to cats
>>726153081I worked at an aquarium for 2 years. Shit ain't all it's cracked up to be.
>>726162712I hear that. My mother has Alzheimer and was denied disability. According to them there are options for her to work. Mother fucking pieces of filthy shit she has worked all her life and now has major issues remembering things but oh no sure she can somehow work someplace where she's going to forget where she fucking is or what the fuck she's doing. Disgusting mother fuckers should all be shot. Kill them all.
Every time I buy a literally who indie game I'll never play during a Steam sale, I feel happy knowing the 5 bucks I spent on humble frivolous amenities are going to another man's megalomaniacal frivolous amenities instead of vaxxing niglets in Afreaka or something.
