Which is why the capitalist argument is never that they physically performed enough labour to earn that amount. The argument is that they took risks that paid off in that amount.

co-founded John Paul Mitchell Systems in 1980 with just $700. Later, he launched Patrón Tequila, revolutionizing the premium tequila market.
Selling newspapers is an example of work.

“Co-funding” is spending money and “launching” is a concept. What work did he do?

Can you give a practical example of how someone can start with no money, and “work” their way up to $1B?

I missed the mark on total number of steam employees by 9. They have 79 employees total for Steam. 71 or 79, it is still an insanely low number
LOL 79 - 71 = 8, not 9. Can’t even do basic math on your made up numbers.

Well said.
It’s not that what he’s saying is wrong – it’s just not useful or interesting in the context of the discussion.

Mmm, not quite.
And I point that out because Lemmy is a very FOSS-friendly place where that sentiment is actually true.

Just so we’re clear here – you pulled your original numbers out of nowhere, but made them oddly specific (71) to give the impression that you were citing an actual source.
That is hilariously pathetic.
And barely even matters since you’re ignoring 90% of the comment you replied to (financing and partnerships).
Just really paints a picture of how boring, basic, and uninformed your opinion is, for all the cockiness you came in here with.

You:
Valve had 71 peoples working in their steam division in 2021.
Verge:
as of 2021, Valve employed just 79 people for Steam
Are you done being an idiot?
- Comment on Steam's new disclaimer reminds everyone that you don't actually own your games, GOG moves in for the killshot: Its offline installers 'cannot be taken away from you' 5 months ago:
Not a single one of those links says Valve had 71 people in their Steam division in 2021.
Can’t even back your own claims. What a joke.

You are more than welcome to:
- Educate yourself even a little bit
- Leave your asinine takes in your brain
If you want to keep spouting them off, go right ahead. But I’m going to mock you for it.
Plug your ears if you’re incapable of upping your game.

Completely ignores financial contributions.
Disingenuous? Dumb? Who knows!?
most of the code was already there
AHAHAHAHAHA every developer in the thread is absolutely cackling at you right now.

Oh look, another boring block of text so you can avoid replying to the commentor who proved you’re either dumb or just lying.
We get it, your point can be dumbed down to a mouth-breathing “capitalism bad”.

Obviously I didn’t mean what I said, or understand any of the details about my claims. I’m just saying capitalism bad!
😪
Yes, yes, we get it.

The nuance is here in this thread, in multiple comments that have clearly demonstrated that you have no idea what you’re talking about.
But you’re too busy backpedaling and jerking of about how much you hate billionaires to actually engage with any of those points.

Microsoft contributes a lot of stuff to open source but that’s really far away from my point.
Microsoft is not a fair comparison to Steam, hence why I refocused to Xbox.
I’m explaining myself because you are being a child and taking my words way to literally. Microsoft being slightly worse does not make steam “good”.
“Obviously I didn’t mean what I said, don’t be a child!” 🙄
Valve can run and offer the same services it does now on a fraction of what they charge.
They could even do it for free, out of the goodness of their hearts!
“Explain it to me or you lose” is insanely childish behavior, specially when I just explained that’s not what I meant and you are being too literal but I mean, here
“I was told there would be no fact-checking”
Explain to me why you think Gaben deserves a net worth of 4 000 000 000 $.
Wow, those goalposts are really movin’ now!
That is who you are being a mouthpiece for, stop defending billionaires.
See my previous comment.

So just a boring, generic anti-capitalist take that deliberately avoids any nuance for the sake of feeling smug.
Gee, why would anyone downvote that!
