        Is he? Varoufakis said that, back when he worked at valve, Newel had an "anarcho-syndicalist soul trapped in a private company" or something like that

            Can't speak for the rest of valve but last I checked the actual developer portion of the company is run with a flat hierarchy and nobody enforces participation in projects, people work on whatever they want to work on. He does own it though.

                Maybe. Not sure how relevant it is today but this is the old "new employee handbook" that Varoufakis would have had on his first day there: https://steamcdn-a.akamaihd.net/apps/valve/Valve_NewEmployeeHandbook.pdf

                Interesting read. Cool place to work tbh and as far as bosses go I do think he's on the better side regardless of the numerous criticisms I have of Valve.

              Certainly elements of it but it stretches believability when he's a multi billionaire

            Of course but that doesn't make him a libertarian. I'm not saying he's actually an anarcho syndicalist or whatever probably just a business guy

          Maybe? But the guy still sold lootboxes as gambling for children, so he can't be that anti-capitalist.

            Of course, I meant more that he's probably more of a hippie doo doo kinda guy than an ideological right-wing libertarian.

            I mean christ, look how he looks now
