Reply to Re: So, Valve made a option to sell mods with money at Steam Workshop

Here's some gold I find from Gabe.
You cannot be serious. This ducker claims that it's costing them a million dollars to respond to emails and that the profit from mods isn't enough.
Ok, so what's the problem? Exactly. The mods. He's a horrible businessman and a terrible liar.
Someone later even pointed out that they can't be responding to these emails to the point where it's costing them a million ducking dollars because their customer service is on par with Comcast. And well...let's be real here. That's probably true.
Then he ends it with "you need a better Valve is evil hypothesis.
Well there you go right there. That very sentence and the fact that Gabe's contradicting himself where he feels it might be convenient for his argument is enough hypothesis. It feels stupid to call them evil since evil really doesn't exist and morals and actions are subjective in how you look at them, but for duck's sake. This is such blatant greed.
Plus, 10,000 in profits? Are people really this ducking stupid? They're actually falling for this which is a very bad sign. At least Gabe's comment may prove that this little stunt of theirs is losing them much more cash than they're gaining so maybe they'll see how stupid they're being and pull out of the whole operation.
Or maybe he's full of shit and pretending that people are truly responding. Hopefully, they're losing money on this. They're certainly losing reputation which should be worse to them since they were once known as the "hero of the PC master race" or some bullshit and that's going to lose them more money in the long run to lose reputation but holy hell.
Reputation is harder to earn than money for sure, especially for shitty corporate abominations like this.
EDIT: There was another comment from Gabe where he called himself the Sand King or something. I don't remember the comment he was responding to, but I looked it up. It's a character from Dota 2 that injects his enemies in poison and blows them up causing area of effect damage. What a perfect analogy to what Gabe's doing to games right now, the market, and economy in general. The more bullshit Valve pulls, the closer we get to the next crash which is unlikely considering you don't need Steam or Gog or Gamestop to sell your games as you can just sell them straight from your own sight or set up a little shop somewhere if you want, but that's still going to be damaging if it happens.
