that moment when the One Good Billionaire™ casually orders a boat that costs several times more money than most of us will ever see in our lifetimes 🙃

i get that there's worse out there but i'm tired of people acting like newell is a saint... he's just another billionaire.

Refreshing to hear this take. Valve and Gabe get glazed so hard when at the end of the day it's about the bottom dollar for them too.

Honestly I think people love them so much because everyone else has been horrible by comparison.

If you made people's nostalgia, they will defend you.

Nintendo has defenders. Disney has defenders. Blizzard has defenders. And so on.

People will defend a company for free because they did something cool ~20 years ago.

Oh man on that note talk about Blizzards fall from grace. Just a shell of their former selves.

StarCraft was one of my favorite games growing up. I can still quote most of the Terran units.

I don't know when or where to say they officially went from "Good with issues" to "Bad with some good games". Doesn't help they ignored their work culture for over a decade.
