It is just about steamOS though.

    He was also called out on it, and even ADMITTED it! (Apologized) Then said he would be more open in the future. Note he didn’t say he would change, only that he would hide it less! Fool me once…

    None of that ever happened. In fact he regularly declines sponsorships from various companies with ethical conflicts.

    Also the incident where he was a total asshole to a small cooler developer, and used the prototype wrongly, then wouldn’t deliver it back, despite that was the agreement, and it was a pretty expensive prototype to make for a small company, and then he auctioned it away!

    When you run a large company, this sort of dumb removed happens. He has since apologized, made the victim whole (or as whole as can be) and hired a CEO to handle logistics. You act like it was done maliciously.

      It was so removeding obvious, how he was paid by companies to do some arbitrary removed, and later there would be a stellar review of their products.
      You had to be blind to not see it. It was hidden advertising, and it’s even illegal! But I think he changed his approach to make it BARELY legal now.

      Yeah after it became a scandal that hurt his business and reputation.

        …what was “obvious”, exactly? You haven’t even explained yourself, much less provided any sort of citation.
