Gabe newell has been caught continuing to donate to the DNC even after they began aggressively catering to the regressive left. RIP Valve. (archive.fo)

They couldn't cancel him. And even if what you say is true, he could still refrain from donating to the DNC.

Was obvious just by what sort of porn steam allows and doesn't.

Faggot shit = All good

Shit for straight dudes = You're on thin fucking Ice, my pedigree chum

This.

I don't give a shit what political party any one is associated with as long as it doesn't interfere. When and if it does, then action must be taken. But right now, steam is as it has always been and that does not impact my experience, so I don't give a fuck.

So this is why we dont have half life three.

Gabe probably thinks that women will sleep with him if he supports the "correct" politics.

He also doesn't really need $2800. That's the equivalent of someone normal throwing less than a buck down.

Now I wouldn't give some donation grubbing DNC gremlin even a buck to go away and stop bothering me, on principle. But a clueless normie might, so that means Newell isn't lucid to what's up unless he's extremely dedicated to hiding his power level, but at worst his level of support for the establishment narrative at it's hysterical fever pitch was "eh, here's a buck I guess".

I picked up on that as well. Is he really "supporting" them when he's issuing such small amounts of cash for a billionaire? He's donated a bit of money to some rando Dem candidates, but the worst offender might be Act Blue- to which he only donated $250... What are we mad about here?

The $2800 is the maximum allowed by law for campaign donations. This is the most valuable money because the candidates spend it directly, whereas PAC unlimited donations can't legally coordinate with the campaign.

So this isn't chump change, it's the maximum possible for that donation and indicates that he's probably also giving huge sums to liberal PACs/SuperPACs that don't have reporting requirements.

Right, so these are personal donations, but he could be giving a lot more elsewhere?

For example he also gave $100k to back Bill Gates' later-ruled unconstitutional charter school proposition. I didn't follow it, but presumably the evil intent would be to spread woke into private schools by tying them to government funding.

Then there's secret donations. He could give any amount, to pick one at random, to Family Friendly Action Fund super pac and they have to tell the FEC who donated, but they don't have to tell the public. And if you do find out oh it's just for "families" that sounds like a good cause - except they are 100% Democrat spending.

But maybe he doesn't even donate money at all, he just "buys" a $50,000/plate dinner from some politics group and nobody knows. If you did that the IRS would audit you and rule that it was a gift and send you to prison for lying on your taxes, but Gabe can do it.

Could be that $100k and those $2800s were the extent of what he's donated, but we don't know. What we do know is that he recently virtue signaled a max donation that he's all-in for Democrats. I wouldn't railroad him for that, but for me it's another reason to not buy anything else from Steam.

The only way we can make our voices heard on this issue would be to organize a protest at his offices to make him understand the regressive left have no place in gaming or anywhere, and that he must apologize, reverse his questionable donations as they're terrorist financing, and fire all regressive leftist staff even if it means shutting down support and the community while restructuring. Also, if he were to call the riot police on us instead of accepting our demands, then all he will do is destroy his company's reputation.

Or, you know, don't buy from Steam, plenty of third party stores and they're easy to find. That's what I've been doing since they've exhibited more and more leftist red flags.

Everything other than gog and first party stores sell steam keys, we still need a steam alternative.

Yea but at least Steam gets no money if you buy it elsewhere.

Thanks for reminding me that I still need to pick up Factorio on GOG so I can still play it after I'm inevitably purged for wrongthink.

Doesn't Factorio have a separate verification key from Steam? You should just be able to download it off their website and use that key if you were ever to be banned from Steam's platform.

Their entire business is one, big political donation to the CCP.
