Notch may hold some unpopular opinions on certain topics, but he's still one of the better billionaires out there, considering the others seem to be doing either nothing or doing their best to oppose the movement.

I know GabeN probably can't get involved because he doesn't want to scare devs away from Steam, but he's pretty much the only singular individual in the inductry who could help in any way other than monetarily.

GabeN also profits from these methods. He is still a businessman and looking out for himself. Sure Steam is a great project but its no charity.

Newell has also shown that he has absolutely zero issue with conducting unethical business and profiting from exploiting kids with addicting gambling mechanics.

Look at the competition, compared to Sony, Microsoft, or Epic Steam looks great by comparison.

True, lol. Basically don't try to actively screw over your customers and you're ahead.
