    Imagine having a dedicated yacht hospital for yourself when most can’t afford decent healthcare. I hope people stop idolizing Gabe, he is just your run of the mill billionaire.

    I mean if you can’t have a gigayacht what even is the point of being a billionaire. And then letting a magazine write an article about it so all the other billionaires know you’re flexing on them. I mean the guy deserves the basics at least.

    I never understood the appeal of anything rich people like. A yacht? An HOA? A supercar? These don’t appeal to me at all. If given them I would hate them.

    I mean it might be fun to buy a politician but otherwise it sounds boring.

    Wow I was a day one Steam Machine, Frame and Controller buyer until this. Maybe people like me are the problem.

    Dude, I thought you were cool.

    Owning a yacht is like the lamest thing you could possibly do!

    With the coolest things being feeding the hungry and housing the poor obviously.

    Everyone on here acts like Gabe is THEIR billionaire, and Steam is THEIR capitalist billionaire corporation.

    Gabe is a dirtbag and a thief by the sole virtue of being a billionaire. Nobody earns a billion dollars, you get it by stealing wages and time from the workers below you.

    Steam is a dirtbag corporation as well, no matter how many fanboys try to sweep Steam’s history of fuckery under the rug

    When I first glanced at the title, I got excited because I saw Steam Machine and $500. 😔

    I mean I guess this is better than 500 million sitting off shore bank accounts. A big part of the problem is rich people don’t spend their money.
