It’s wild how Lemmy gamers and others treat Steam as if it’s a noble corporation and Gabe is THEIR billionaire so he can’t possibly be bad. The fact that he’s a billionaire is proof that he underpaid and stole from everyone below him. There are no good billionaires, and Gabe is not your friend

But yet he might be one of the better billionaires in the pool of filth.

We could build Sword Art Online, but I think we all know that this technology will be used to beam ads directly into your head 24/7. You won't be able to sleep because of the penis enhancement ads.
Nah, it's GabeN.
Half Life: Alyx Episode 2 will be coming straight into your brain.

it's almost as if there may be room for something in between love and hate, black and white, good and evil

This is a very important concern. Tech companies already exert entirely too much power over society through smart phones and their accompanying apps. The damage they would do with direct access to your neurons is incalculable.
The only thing that comforts me is that I firmly expect that society as we know it will entirely collapse before this technology can really be capitalized. It's not a very comforting expectation, but it somehow bothers me less than the idea of techno-fascist corporate feudal states taking control of everyone's thoughts.
It is sort of funny how the idea that humanity would wipe itself out used to be a worst case scenario and now it is one of the more comforting options.

Not advocating for our against but 2 thoughts here:
1: Gabe isn't Musk. Yes money etc but don't immediately jump there without other malfeasance please. Caution absolutely but don't ascribe one rich assholes shit to another.
2: He probably has hard data on accessibility... Possibly more than nearly anyone else. There's a HUGE portion of the population that can't use "traditional" controllers or other input devices. And that's not even going into the medical realm.
Could game Gabe be starting his villain phase? Sure! But until more negative details come out I'm just hoping this is investments he'd use toward a new steam controller.

Is a killer a good person? Isn’t there a line to cross before you become bad? If you reached billionaire status you left the moral line far behind

Nicest guy in prison

He’ll only be able to make the first prototype, and then a second. He will never make it to 3.

I know the internet lives the guy but no. Just no.
As someone losing control of their hands and enjoys playing video games, I very much look forward to this technology not only being available via Elon Musk.

You don't get to be a billionaire without some malfeasance.
And even if you don't assume actively malicious intent like you should with Musk, there's a lot of potential danger with technology like this, and if you don't stand a lot to gain, and have reasonable controls against things going wrong, it's probably not a good idea to be an early adopter. It's just like a pacemaker, there are a narrow segment of people who should want to test a new model/concept for them.

The fact that you wrote this with just vibes makes me love Gabe that much more. I'm finding that the best past in life is to reject whatever the fuck you all are selling since you're all so out of touch with reality.

let's not circlejerk and have a soft spot for a billionaire just because you like video games. why give gaben the benefit of the doubt just because you think steam is a good product? if they're a billionaire doing this, we can assume this is a money making venture.
if you're a billionaire, you're already way into your villain phase. he's not musk, but he's one of them. you don't make a billion dollars. you take a billion dollars.

I always get shat on for saying they do unregulated gambling, including to minors
People be really defending Valve
I think being on a tech community instead of the gaming ones helps

Billionaires either inherit their money or get it by being an asshole. Being nice doesn’t make people billionaires.

This is the new tech that will justify Half Life 3 they were talking about in the doc. It all makes sense now, the ultimate controller!

Billionaires should not exist
Step 1: Tax all wealth above 999 Million at 100% taxrate
Step 2: Congrats, no more billionaires!

So, you are reading things I didn't write. I'm not defending him about steam games etc... The only good will here about any of it is the work toward better Linux life.
I agree billionaires shouldn't exist.
I don't like steam.
I don't really do much gaming... And it's worth stuff from GOG.
Chill out. I'm not the fanboi you are looking for.
I'm only saying perhaps he sees $$$ in a venture that is rife with much worse people doing far worse to vulnerable people.
On the off chance better access comes about from rich assholes eating each other, I'm game to at least watch.

Absolutely agree at every part.
My desire would be strong regulation via a real agency (not current US), or alternatively ONLY work via non-intrusive means on the scalp.

Is a killer a good person?
Well yeah, sometimes! It is very context dependent.
