Google, Twitter, and Reddit are proof that your business cannot relay on a middle man without that middle man creating a monopoly that shits itself

God the nightmare we will get when Gaben passes...

    Valve is directly owned by him with no stockholder nonsense, as I understand it, so perhaps he has willed it to someone who will handle it well. Hopefully. I don't like everything about Steam, but I do like that, assuming I'm not misinformed.

    What I'm paranoid is that it seems companies have started giving out arbitrary bans as part of a power trip.

    My friend's an Overwatch Streamer and they shot him with a one-month ban for "Being Toxic"

    His toxic behavior was... "Asking people to stop using racial slurs in voice chat"

    I remember hearing that his son would take the reigns after his death and that his son shares the same values as Gabe. So hopefully we're fine for the foreseeable future on that front. Assuming I'm remembering that right at least.
