He's a libertarian billionaire lmao of course he has shit takes. This is still better than during the George Floyd protests when lower-level employees wanted to make a pro-BLM statement and he shut it down in favor of "neutrality".

Literally :steamfront:, why is this the first time I'm hearing about this?

[–] barrbaric@hexbear.net 9 points 2 years ago

Yeah idk you'd think the story would take off, but gamer-gulag gonna gamer-gulag, I guess. I only heard about it because I'm subbed to an indie gaming news youtube channel because the people involved already made boardgame content I like. They're decent, if a bit lib.

The segment in question

He instead gave everyone $10k and suggested they give it to social justice orgs but it wasn’t mandatory

I mean yeah but that's just giving money to bigots/libertarians who will at best do nothing and at worst result in them donating money to far-right causes. If he cared they'd have Valve give the money out directly.
