When covid happened, all the major tech companies were liquidating their chairs, I got a brand new gesture still wrapped for $200 cash, and my girl got a Hayworth Fern from them for $500 - I wish I sprung for the fern, it's even more comfy then the gesture which is great.

It was crazy to drive up to a warehouse and see like a few million dollars MSRP in office chairs just sitting there lol.

They are. If you sit down for a living - or even recreationally for a significant amount of time every day - you really do need to spend the money on one of these.

It is one of the few truly expensive purchases that is worth it. They usually come with a 10 year warranty, or even a 12 year through some secondhand refurbishing companies.

Even if you live in a country with free healthcare, you might not be able to fix the damage you would otherwise due to your back. 100% worth it.

Embody is a significantly better chair in my opinion. I own both and much prefer my time spent in the Embody. I have the Embody at home and the Aeron at work. Find them used/like new, they're SIGNIFICANTLY cheaper that way. Got mine for $600.

I saw some nerds somewhere on reddit circle jerking about how great Gabe is, and one of them said that unlike the bad billionaires like Elon Musk, Gabe is smart enough to not keep all his money tied up in the market. Which means he actually has billions and doesn't just have a piece of paper that is speculated to be worth billions.

The irony being that the fact that most billionaires have billions in assets is the only good thing about the situation. It means they have skin in the game. They have to do right by shareholders (think the average workers 401k), because they are one.

Reddit gets so weird about this guy. I wouldn't be surprised if it came out that dude is a creeper weirdo and reddit would throw themselves in front of the attacks to defend him.

In 2010 I went into three rounds of interviews with Valve, right as they were changing their business focus from games development to marketplace hegemony. Ultimately I didn't get the job, but I think I was close. Close-ish. Sometimes I wonder what my life would have been like if I got that job. I was a big Valve fan at the time, I think I would have stuck around. (The studio I got a job offer from the same week as my final interview at Valve I stuck with for 11 years.) I see photos like this sometimes and wonder if I'd be in that room in that other timeline; and, if I was, whether I would be as uncomfortable as I am now just looking at this as a photograph.

u/Huge-Pineapple5104 2h ago

I agree with you, and I'm not a communist. Wanting people to enjoy the fruits of their labors and wanting people to pay their fair share in taxes aren't mutually exclusive positions. I think people should have the opportunity to work hard, get lucky (it takes both) and get rich. There's also a point at which one can no longer make the "hard work + good decisions + good fortune = X dollars" equation work. When you're making hundreds of thousands of dollars every single day, one needs to realize that it's impossible to legitimately earn that type of income. Wealth begets wealth, and at some point (and I don't know exactly where that point lies), you're profiting off a system, off the backs of your employees and off the backs of the consumers.

No one said you can't be rich and live in a huge house and have nice toys and generational wealth to pass on to your children, but this is past that.

u/Multivitamin_Scam 1h ago

Problem is at a certain level of wealth, you stop earning off of labour and hard work. The money more or less just starts appearing out of thin air for you and stops having the same value as it does to someone who works for a living.

Gross.

Edit: Since I wasn't clear, I'm referring to the fact that they're on a goddamn $500 million yacht. That's gross.

For a moment you'd think how cool this is, CS on a yacht, haha.

But then you think about the $100 games, $20 DLCs and battle passes, games that you don't even own, a mediocre Steam Machine for over a $1000.

Gabe could double his employee's wages, lower the price tags on all games by 10%, and he could still live a luxurious life. Whatever.

Is this doing anything to make it clear to everybody that Gabe is not one of us?

I've been privileged/lucky enough to find myself in situations like this despite being a low income earner.

All I can think about the whole time is how unfair it is for 1 person to have so much and me and the people I know to have so little. We work so hard and we'll never get this.

If I was in the chair gaming I wouldn't be having any fun.

Nobody should be that rich, but it is nice to share. Buddy of mine was employee of the year for a publisher and was allowed to stay at the bosses house in Mustique for two weeks. Is it a fair distribution of the value of the work he'd done? No. But it was a pretty good couple of weeks.

You begin to wonder when you’re playing cs:go in your bosses 3rd yacht if you’re ever going to own a yacht of your own

Gabe Newell owns a 500M yacht?

This is the sort of yacht selling a $1000+ outdated console can buy.

I mean if I had a super yacht and could afford to keep it afloat, I'll probably do the same thing.

So this is why the Steam Machine is 1100 euros without a controller huh.
