    The fact that he is a billionaire does not mean that lol. He’s a billionaire because his company gets a cut of every sale of games on his platform, and his platform is the industry standard/default platform for digital distribution. He could be paying his employees a million a year to be a janitor and he’d still be a billionaire, no “stealing” and not one being underpaid.

      Stop defending billionaires, they don’t care about you. Great example he don’t care about us? He is anti union and refuses to let his employees unionize to ask for better conditions. They’re also raking in money on all these games that are also being made on the backs and labor of underpaid workers

        I’m not “defending billionaires”, I’m correcting misinformation and rubbish. Of course Gabe doesn’t care about us, I never said he did.

        Just because he is a billionaire doesn’t mean that he exploited, underpaid, or stole from anyone. He’s a billionaire because he created the only fish in a huge pond that everyone throws money into hand over fist. Like I said, he could be paying everyone there a million dollars a year and he’d still be a billionaire because he OWNS the company. It’s not a publicly traded company, it’s private. He owns it.

        They’re also raking in money on all these games that are also being made on the backs and labor of underpaid workers

        That’s got nothing to do with him. He built a marketplace and tools for people to distribute and use in their games. The working conditions of people making the games that are then sold on his marketplace has nothing to do with him.
