The reason people like him even here where most billionaires are hated, is that he’s doing essentially nothing to maintain the monopoly and Valve gives back to the community by working on Linux compatibility. Sweeney, despite having much less market share, is the one engaging in monopolistic practices (paying for exclusives in particular) and refuses to even consider Linux a potential target OS, he wants gaming to remain Windows-only.
If Epic took like 10% of the budget they use for free games and timed exclusives and put that towards making their UX not dogshit, Valve wouldn’t even have a monopoly.
Don’t forget he bought his kid a racing team.
It’s amazing you defend this guy for rent sitting because he’s one of the good billionaire monopolies 🙄

He rather spent years fighting Apple to get Fortnite on iOS than adding support for Linux.

It would help if they also supported Linux and open source.
