He's filthy rich and makes some of his money with gambling addiction. But his company invests million into Linux and I really enjoy Valve's products. There are thousands of worse CEOs and companies.

He's also the original ceo of valve. Didn't sell it out and have corporate ceos just casually going in and out.
