Dang it. Why can't more wealthy people just be chill and not psychopaths. I get that statistically, they are more likely to succeed due to lack of morality. But damn.
It would be cool if somebody nice acquired the businesses.
You'll never be a billionaire if you're a nice person.
You'll always lose money caring for stupid shit like paying fair wages to employees, respecting laws and paying taxes.
Counterpoint: Steam
I’m thinking it’s more that public companies have a legal obligation to provide increasing value to their shareholders, so stay private, don’t be a dick. Grow at a reasonable pace. Avoid enshitification.
Steam not only profits wildly from underage gambling, but by being close to a monopoly. They take 30% from every game sold, which is more than they need. They can take that much due to their de-facto storefront existance.
Steam delivers amazing services, pcgaming would not be where it is without valve, but even with their radical work policies and good wages for their workers they still have quite a bit of problems.
I agree there are problems that could be fixed and need more publicity but they are far from evil.
