I like Steam, I like that they aren’t being dicks and treat users well. That said: billionaires are not your friend.
There is no such thing as an ethical billionaire.
I just want this specific billionaire to continue to live because, unlike most billionaires, he’s not making my life more difficult.
He’s basically refused to let steam become enshittified. Other billionaires would have long ago succumb to the one that they serve, the almighty dollar, and done whatever they can to extract the most value from their user base. Enshittifying the platform in the process, and actively making my life worse.
So as far as I’m concerned, when it comes to billionaires, gaben is far from the worst.
I have a short list of billionaires that kinda fit into the category of: I don’t mind that they exist.
There’s a much longer list of billionaires that I’d like to see pushing up the daisies.
Not that I can, or would, do anything to make that happen. I just, wouldn’t hate it if it happened.

I didn’t say there was.

Fair enough. It isn’t that they’re better, it’s just that they’re less worse.
I would say, they’re not necessarily good, just less bad.
Same idea though.
