Was worried for a moment that this post was going to be about Gaben (who I rent all my games from) revealing a hard right shift. Like Gaben really obviously doing a 2018-era Musk slide to the right. “You don’t gotta hand it to them, but some Republicans are alright. Also, I love MAGA and Gordon Freeman would’ve marched at Charlottesville and Chell would’ve defended freedom on Jan 6.”
You thought my beautiful gamer Jesus who runs a structureless game development commune would have right wing leanings? Yeah, you're probably right. There's no good millionaire. Fuck that guy.
I wouldn't try and guess Newell's politics but I gotta believe there's one rich guy smart enough to not be Elon Musk.
He's a libertarian. During the BLM protests, Valve workers wanted the company to make a statement one way or the other, and what the company ended up doing was giving each employee a bonus that they could donate to something if they wanted to.
This video, where they directly interviewed (anonymous) current and former Valve employees. Unfortunately there don't seem to be any articles on the bonus specifically.
I found a YouTube link in your comment. Here are links to the same video on alternative frontends that protect your privacy:
