A big boat is something poor people can't afford, ergo it's a status symbol. Humans will tolerate a LOT of boredom and misery for the sake of status. This is because status unlocks bonus items in Hell when you die.

none of that is selling out though?
selling out means abandoning your core fanbase and your principles to chase big corporate bag.
gaben got his yacht money by staying in his niche and sticking to his principles.

valve is single-handedly pushing back against ai horseshit and the assault on owning your own computer and you're acting like he sold the whole platform off to tencent. just plain ignorant, if not paid disinfo actor.

>muh 30%
the physical retail that valve distrupted would take anywhere from 30% to 50% of your dollar, and you still had to pay the publisher and the physical distribution chain before the dev got any money.

It's not meant to accomplish anything faggot, he probably just bought it because he wanted one. You aren't entitled to gabe's money that he earned. Maybe you should start your own gaming enterprise from nothing like he did, since it's so easy anyone can do it.

>>730634881
I still don't understand the appeal of boats, much less mega yachts. The upkeep and storage on a smaller boat is fucking insane. I literally can not comprehend how difficult and expensive it is to maintain a mega-yacht. It just seems so wasteful. All so that you can impress millionaires who are more poor than you. It just seems so pointless.
You could have tossed that 400 million away by covering a 4 year university degree for a child that each and every employee Valve has. Then you'd have millions of poor people sucking you off. Surely the cumulative ass kissing of millions outweighs the few evenings of watching lesser affluent individuals mald over your wasteful purchase.

He is Jewish after all. He made his videogame career stealing John Carmack's engine to prop himself up as VP of Microshit, using ID Engine to accelerate the GUI for Windows then took that stolen code to make "Gold Source" and start Valve. He, like all of his kind, is a parasite. He's just the nicest of the parasites.

Never forget that it was this one decision that completely tanked Epic Games stores reputation.
2 weeks before release he bought out exclusivity which PISSED OFF a ton of people.

A yacht is the most expensive luxury a billionaire can pretty much buy, right? Or what else is there?

>>730638868
Jets are bigger status signalers since they say that you are so important you need to go mach 1 just to go to all your meetings with other rich and powerful people. But yachts are the most ostentatious and conspicuous.

>>730634881

It's a mansion you don't have to pay property tax on and if any government tries you can just sail away.

>>
>>730640132
you'll spend far more on maintenance and docking fees than you ever would in property tax.
a yacht even more so, plus having the whole crew on retainer all year isn't going to be cheap either.

there's a reason boat people always say, "never be the guy who owns the boat, be the friend of the guy who owns the boat"
>>
>>730640008
Gaben was delivering newspapers when this jew was raping kids. Gabe is rich because he is one of the first people to profit from programming video games. You're mad because you don't have money, it has nothing to do with him.
>>
>>730640270
That only applies to regular people not elites.

In my case I have a remote job and 100k in anime figures I'm considering selling to buy a boat. That's chump change in the boating world but still far cheaper than buying a house. But yeah obviously if you get a mortgage the house still makes more sense but you're paying extra for the coolness factor

I think you're failing to understand how meaning and words work, man.
The rich don't deserve or are undeserving of the money. They have the money. Hence, "rich".
Making moralist arguments about it is just riling yourself up to real outcome.
