It’s kind of weird that Gabe Newell et al shows this much support and appreciation for the long term future than most of the people from his generation, referring more to when he entered the industry than when he was born. In theory, he could profit more in the now instead of investing in a future he might not be around to enjoy, but instead chose the high road.
It’s also kind of weird that a person not being scum in a position of power is weird to me. Pretty low standard we’ve set for humanity.
