Every penny you wasted on CS2, he spent on luxury junk.
>>725937981The fuck that looks like a research ship.
>15 gaming PCs>none of them are Steam Machineshmmm .... telling
>>725938141Because it is.
>>725938193why would a billionare use a budget PC? he's not poor
>>725938141Gabe is trying to find new species he's not eaten yet.
>creates market fuelled by third worlders>skims enough money to buy a new yacht>sinks the market with no survivors>actual literal suicides happen because of itBased.
This fucking fat nigger piece of shit killed and betrayed the Artifact fanbase
>>725937981nice, something you can actually touch
>>725937981Borealis is real
>>725939305You had faith in the magic the gathering developer, you only have yourself to blame
>>725938846>Gabe is trying to find new species he's not eaten yet.It tastes like chicken.
>>725937981B-but Gaben is bad, fat and ugly. Timmy is a saint guys
>>725939078To be fair, it is supposed to be a luxury yatch, why would a billionaire have subpar computers in it?
how fucked up does your health need to be to require an onboard hospital/doctor?he is dyingF
>>725937981I didn't buy a game on steam or anywhere else in years hehe
>>725939078are these "amerishits" in the room with you now?
>>725937981>consumers? BAD >the merchant? ALSO BAD I fail to see what's exactly your argument here.
>>725937981>could improve the world>could elevate video games as an entertainment medium>buys a fleet of yachts and gets on ozempic insteadGabe is ontologically evil.
>>Anyone else just insanely attracted to Gabe?
I like his new yacht. Enjoy that new yacht, Gabe.
>>725940195what
>>725940101He ran a company where people worked on what they wanted. After all his top guys cashed out upon making Portal 2, he did the same because the alternative was literally California dangerhairs due to the rest of the old guard of vidya just retiring anyway. It is what it is.
>>725937981Why are CHUDS seething about our ally Gaben?
>world endsGabe lives on his kickass gamer ship
>>725940204cuck
>>725938141It's a rich tech guy thing. You build these philanthropy vessels and just play adventure with it. Paul Allen did much the same.
>>725937981Yatchs he turns into marine research vessels. I don't know what the fuck Gabe is researching but he's this close to being a Mad Scientist.
>>725937981>15 gaming PC'sWill (you) be invited to Gaben's LAN party?
>>725938141He rents them out like a landlord of the sea
>>725940489>invited to Gaben's LAN partyPlay Artifact!
>>725940404Paul Allen also owned a Mig-29.
>>725937981$500 million is a bit of a drop in the bucket for billionaires, OP. There are much more outrageous things to buy out there.Gabe's allowed to buy this kinda' shit too, wouldn't you say? He is not an objectionable man.
>>725938141It is, a researcher ship for billionaires to research how to rape kids better
>>725937981am i supposed to be mad? no one forced brownoids to buy loot boxes
Pcgamer is really focussed on his yachts.
I respect a billionaire funding research ships far more than single-use luxury, dubai-flagged rape sea destroyers.
>>725941492this fatass isn't doing any research, retard.
Imagine if Gaben was actually the first motherfucker to get real good footage of a healthy, living Colossal Squid in its natural habitat. That would be rad
>>725938141FPBP, came here to say the same thing. That's not a yacht. That's a ship.
>>725937981>you waste money, he wastes moneypoetry
>>725937981I don't give a shit about boats and the sea but it's the closest thing to a space ship you can realistically own, 500bil is fucking steep though.
>>725937981What the hell is he using it for though? This looks like the Japanese whaling ships the Sea Shepherds were always chasing after.
>>725937981I get having one really expensive, ridiculously luxurious yacht, but why is he collecting them like hot wheels?
>>725937981>onboard hospitalHow the fuck does this work? Is he paying a bunch of doctors 300k plus a year to hang out on his yacht and standby in case his heart gives out or something? Can other doc-tards comment on how I can acquire such a position?
The S.S. Gaben
>>725942191Probably not a doctor-in-residence but more like a medic on standby trained enough to keep him alive until the boat can get somewhere or stabilized until the helicopter can fly him to a hospital
>>725937981Looks like ass.
>>725942191I don't know, but when I read onboard hospital it makes me think of these Red Cross hospital ships. No clue what he needs that for.
>>725938193>>none of them are Steam MachinesIt doesn't say that
>>725942157To fill the void in his life.Yachts are like harley davidsons of middle class boomers or jordans for ghetto blacks
>>725942054500bil would buy 1000 of them.
>>725942191>>725942637Its because he literally built a fucking oceanic research vessel. For science. It has a submarine bay, they need staff on board in case people get Steve Irwin'd or something
Would you join the Gabe Navy? Would you help ensure the fleet is in tiptop condition?
>>725942772Oh well. I never paid a microtransaction and some of the last few physical games I bought had DRM worse than Steam's.>kids these days don't remember SecuROM
Gabe got rich off making games.But then Gabe became a billionaire off micro transactions, and the total decimation of physical mediaThere's not a billionaire alive that provides any significant benefit to society. But they benefit greatly from society, like using public infrastructure to faciliate their businesses.
>>725942848No because that sounds an awful lot like Scientology's SeaOrg
>>725937981Thirdies will look at a massive ass vessel with an onboard hospital and a submarine bay and he like>Clearly this is a pleasure vessel
>>725942958>There's not a billionaire alive that provides any significant benefit to society. But they benefit greatly from society, like using public infrastructure to faciliate their businesses.Omg he's just like me!
>>725942724yes, just noticedhalf a billion is still a fuckton, maybe he wants to sit out ww3 on high seas
>>725942931>inb4 "but at least you """own""" that disc containing a game you can't play without cracking it"
>>725938193that's like, 45 gabecubes
>>725943031Nigga look at it, it has at least 5 floors. There's gotta be at least one brothel in there.
>>725937981>spends his millions in a comfy outdoors hobby besides videogamesbasedwhat hobby would you pursue if you had gabe's money?
>>725943195Its a deep sea research vessel because Gabe has been dumping money into that field for the past decade. He literally owns a submarine manufacturer
>>725943286I'd play video games
>>725943412So you're saying he has a brothel submarine? That's rad.
>>725943286I'm a collector at heart, so probably stockpiling nuclear warheads to annihilate Russia, Israel, and China with.
>>725940662Technically speaking, there's absolutely no reason why some random wouldn't be able to own an unnarmed fighter jet, the main issue with these is that they cost gorillions since they need to be the upmost quality to sustain the forces the engine will put them through.
>>725937981If he likes sailing, he should make game about it.Or space game rivaling shart citizen.
>>725943286I would just keep enough to be a comfy neet for the rest of my life, and give away the rest to family and friends
meet me at the gaming cruiser
>>725937981That's a bit click baity an "on-board hospital" just means it has a small clinic of equipment to handle non-emergency conditions and stabilize more serious issues. It's likely at most two medical professionals as well.
>>725943858 Based minimalist NEET. I'd probably do the same, but still keep a little stash stashed somewhere bunker-style just in case society hits ctrl+alt+delete. Living the comfy life while watching the world burn from my RGB-lit gaming chair.
>>725939730>50,000 acres>200km2>10x20kmYeah, that'll make a difference.
>>725943286>what hobby would you pursue if you had gabe's money?Funding overthrow of the Jewish capitalist system
>>725937981He deserves it by earning it.
>>725937981Commies actually think anyone cares. Gaben has saved me thousands on games over the years and given me the best gaming platform of all time. I've even made some money on the Steam market without any effort. I don't care how many yachts he buys with his money. He can own every yacht on the planet as far as I'm concerned. We both profited off this deal.
>>725944601>I profited a few dollars off>the destruction of the physical media industry>and all the companies attached to it>as well as all the jobs involved in printing, distributing, and retailing physical media>and off the promotion of gambling to childrenOh wowGabe deserves it because he took something that was good and didn't need to be any different, and delivered something inferior, but it was scalable and allowed him to concentrate most of the wealth in his hands instead of being lost to other people in operating costs like paying staffand you're estatic you made a couple dollars off it. There used to be people that printed copies of games that had full time jobs before Gabe came around and scooped up all the wealth for his yachts
>>725945026Unless you're retarded, you would do the same thing, given the opportunity.
>>725940101>ontologicallyHas anyone who isn't retarded ever used this word?
>>725945228The whole argument why people make for billionaires being good is they create wealth for others by creating jobs.Gabe made his wealth off destroying jobs, and scaling digital distribution up. He only has like 50 employees or something absurd low number. This used to be an industry that involved tens of thousands of jobs.
>>725945412>billionaires create wealth for others by creating jobs.Nobody has ever said this honestly. Again, you would do the same thing if presented with the opportunity. Nobody gets rich with good deeds and nobody is going to say 'no' to free* money.
>>725946168People used to get rich by providing something the world needed. Henry Ford is a good example. What's Gabe providing that the world needs? Nothing.
>>725947078Evidently he's providing something, he's not getting his money out of thin air is he?
>>725947078>What's Gabe providing that the world needs?third world suicide spreesAll hail GabeN, the...the Favela 'Fenestratorthe Slum Dunkthe SEA Monkey Spelunkeythe Derailed Jeet Jailorthe Hue Risqué
>>725947185I explained to you. Games are the same price they've always been. Gabe got rich by taking all the money that was once paid to employees on the distribution chain of physical media. But instead of having to pay employees, he gets to pocket all of it. He won by undercutting physical distribution until it was no longer profitable.
>>725937981>>725940101>Every penny you wasted on CS2, he spent on luxury junk.Looks like a perfectly sensible ship to me, it's a far cry from being a MEGA yacht produced solely for war criminals with a grandiosity complex. And besides the other half goes to making vidya work in Troonix and ARM processors so whatever I'm content.Also all things considered playing scientist on your McSteamBoat is isn't even all that bad, other billionaires go down the down the route of sacrificing and molesting younglings to to honor Baphomet and Moloch for some reason while throwing money away at AI slop that needs entire coal power plants to be resurrected just so someone on the other side of the world can generate 10TB's of uncanny futa porn with cringy captions with their ChatJeetPT and Grok subscriptions.... Rather than pay actual talented artists in Worst Korea or the Philippines for mere pennies or via sending them a photo of a Giftcard code scratched open that you'd otherwise just let sit in a drawer while it gathers dust.
>Tim Sweeney, the founder of Epic Games, is conserving forests by purchasing vast tracts of land, primarily in North Carolina and Virginia, and donating them to conservation groups to protect them from development. His goal is to preserve wilderness, biodiversity, and natural habitats, which he has been doing through his company, 130, an LLC focused on conservation efforts, making him one of the largest private landowners dedicated to conservation in the region. Notable contributions include the donation of 7,500 acres in the Roan Highlands and helping to protect the 7,000-acre Box Creek Wilderness area, which is home to over 130 rare species.The chad nature loving Tim Sweeney vs the fat greedy homeless-looking pedophile Gabe Newell
>>725943727Yeah but weren't MIG's also designed for turdworlders and built with higher tolerances in mind at the expense of performance in air? Same concept with Sweden's Gripen too arguably and there's nothing wrong with either, yeah an F-35 will still blow them outta the water but if I could get an old MIG Gripen or heck even an old Harrier for tree fiddy I sure as fuck wouldn't be complaining.
>>725942958You don't understand one fat fuck stealing enough money that you could literally cure several diseases is good because capitalism!These idiots don't understand how many hours of work and basically lives went into that!.
Who the fuck needs SEVEN goddamn luxury super yachts?
>>725937981how can you be mad at this? fuckin' buddy is living the dream. good for him.
>>725947451idgi, did the money just manifest itself for him to take?
>>725948179>stealingHuh? Gabe sold a product and people bought it, what's he stealing?
>>725943194270 steam decks if you will
>>725948471Profit is theft especially when you do nothing for it.You will find out when automation comes around what the rich really think about you.
>>725948471>>725948426I won't spend more than $5 for a digital game, so 90% of games I buy are physical. Gabe took physical from us. All the work that went into the boxes, and art, and manuals. It's gone. IT's just barely hanging on in Japan because Japanese people have respect for the printing industry and just won't let billionaires like Gabe kill it for their own profit.
Holy fucking shit i feel like a goyim.At least my cock still works, so take that Gabe
Gabe spends money on steak companies, yatchs, and under water exploration which is a giant white elephant Sweeny preserves and protects
>>725948626>most intelligemt communist
>>725937981He should buy nukes and launch silos desu
It's a fact that digital distribution doesn't lower prices. You just get an inferior product for the same cost as physical. And you praise it.WEF called it
>>725937981good for him, to me owning a yacht or being at sea sounds like a pain in the dick
>>725937981Why do billionaires love yachts so much? I honestly don't get it
>>725948920>nukesImagine Gayben slapping Steam ads on his nuclear bomb.
>>725949257with a yacht you can go anywhere you want
>>725949257>get away from poors and coloreds>international waters, allowing you to do heinous shit
>>725949257Status symbols, and if you're a billionaire it's like having a moving city. You float around the world and it's stocked with every possible thing you could want
>>725937981Happy to have done my part enriching Gabe. Thank you for providing a good service, king.
>>725937981his income is from 30% cut on sales of every video game published there, not from poorfags who play f2p games, dumbsit's the devs who bought him a ship
>>725937981Can we at least get a CS2 map of his superyacht?
>>725940404Does it have a tasteful watermark?
>>725949339Can you? Can I sail, let's say to France and just park there?
>>725949609You'd have to pay a hefty fee I recon but sure.
>>725949609You mean dock. Yes. He could dock along the whole coast of Europe, and do things like stop by a restaurant on the coast of France. Not that he doesn't have his own chef staff in his yacht to cook for him though.
>>725949786>>725949609And the helicopter pad is so he can takeoff on his helicopter and fly around inland and not have to worry about things like being in traffic with peasants.
>>725949257My theory is peace of mind. When I was still working high-stress corpo jobs I slowly became obsessed with the idea of having a nice, comfortable ship I could just live on off the coast of Alaska. It would have a little balcony attached to my bedroom where I could just sit with a hot drink and take in the view of the coastline. Lots of powerful people (not to say I was powerful) get like that. You get stuff like billionaires who wear the same outfit every day or frequent dominatrixes because they want to take stress and choices out of their lives
>>725949257It’s just the thing to do, 90 percent of really rich people don’t have any taste or flair, they just immediately become standard rich person with minimalist big house and random possessions that will barely be used.
>>725937981wow OP that makes me so angryoh wait, I'm not a retard I actually don't care
>>725939458Gabe finally did it. He finally got the Borealis.
>>725939784there are no doctors in the open seawhat would you do if you had an accident in the middle of nowhere? >hello 911, i'm bleeding from my rectum, my location is international waters near the south pole pls help
>>725939730This is basically buying a house, and make a 15km radius free of neighbors.
>>725947539>it's a far cry from being a MEGA yacht produced solely for war criminals with a grandiosity complex.lolhe has multiple 500 million yachts
>>725937981Do I get invited to their sex orgies on this boat if I land a job at Volvo?
>>725947539This nigger really thinks Gabe doesn't rape children KEK
>>725950353>he has multiple 500 million yachtsYes, and he made his money back by renting them out to people who wanna pretend to be rich for a day before going back to eating canned tuna and rice. That's called an investment not a vanity impulse purchase.
>>725950484you do but as a gimp
>>725939730Aka he pays no taxes
If prostitution is illegal in america, can I pay a woman money to get on my yacht, sail a few miles always, fuck her in international waters and then ship her back?Would that be legal?
>>725937981Sounds like Gaben expects society to collapse and wants to be self-sufficient as far away from the mainland as possible.
>>725951309Not if you go back to the usa
>>725940404>>725940662>>725949554he had the best business card, I admit
>>725942191>300kHe travels around the world, no need for a US doctor salary. More like 150k with everything else provided (food, services, lodging, etc. cause you're on a fucking ship) and, assuming he wants a doctor on board 24/7, he probably hired two guys and they do a 6-6, meaning 6 months on board and 6 months off.You can make quite a bit of money working on big ships and cruises since you can save most of your salary, if you're intelligent and have your 6 months on land somehow covered (inherited residence, living with a friend, whatever) it's a good path towards a comfy retirement even if you're like a chef or a musician, don't need to be a doctor.You absolutely need to LOVE life on board tho, it's not for everybody and many people quit after a couple stints.
>>725938846Kek
>>725937981If gaben is so cool how come he doesnt have a rari?
>>725948671Physical was dying before Steam got involved.
>>725949235>>725948671>>725952747Just buy vidya from GOG if you cares so much or even sail the seven seas on your GabeCube or Steam Deck. It's not like those devices are locked down ecosystems like what console cucks tolerate.
>>725942637>I don't know, but when I read onboard hospital it makes me think of these Red Cross hospital ships. No clue what he needs that for.Gabe has daily heart attacks
>>725938141>>725939730>>725940101>>725941492>>725941841>>725942958>>725941712>>725945412>>725947871I find it baffling that no knows that Gaben is doing deep sea research that allowed his team to catch rare species and document even rarer ones and he's also documenting the pathogens in our waste water with his goal to come up with better technology to detect pathogens in the airhttps://youtu.be/GsbYXGVSPmohttps://youtu.be/iu5DhNbDtj0I guess its because he doesn't brag about it but it really seems that no one bothered to research what hes actually doing with his money.
>>725937981What's the resale value on those things?
>725953170Imagine genuinely getting baited by shills.
>>725952407Gabe Newell is an Aston Martin Valkyrie man.
>>725939910unfortunatly they are here in this very thread
>>725940404honestly if i had that money it would be a really cool hobby i can't blame him
>American website>doesn't celebrate a self-made billionairehaha how the turntables
>>725951503>Sounds like Gaben expects society to collapse and wants to be self-sufficient as far away from the mainland as possible.Ya know I suspect this social collapse rhetoric is in part being pushed by the 'elites' themselves honestly, they'd probably prefer we fight each other them rather than actually shake things up and vote out a bunch of uni-party old fucks.To bad red hats and problem glasses are to fucking retarded to realize this...
>>725937981He has his own jurassic epstien island that he sails too where he fucks underaged dinosaurs.
>>725938141that's not a research ship, this is a research ship, notice how it says research and has research harpoons and a meat extracting research facility
>>725937981See, if you gave the same money to Epic they would use it to buy literal candy or some other meat-headed thing and if you gave it to EA they would just line their CEOs' pockets further.
>>725937981>rich people get rich to escape as far as they can from other peopleNot really surprised. Hope he finds Cthulhu, that's be a lot of sashimi.
>>725954821kek
>>725954821Gabe won't stop till he has eaten the ocean clean.
>>725948920jfc making enough nukes to blow the earth up 3x over...
>>725954976>if you gave it to EA they would just line their CEOs' pockets further.I'd never, not interested in giving even a single cent to the second biggest sponsor of Terrorism outside of a certain 'Chosen land'. EA can get fucked and I hope their AI slop investment bankrupts their ass.
>>725953170fuckin neat dude, thanks for sharing
>>725937981>He wanta (you) as a permanent member of his pirate crew.How do you respond?
what makes you think i care where the money goes after i get the product i paid for?
>>725953154>if you cares so muchThey don't want a solution, they want to be angry
>>725951309You can do whatever you want. Everything is de facto legal if you don't get caught.
