that money is absolutely being put towards buying yachts

Did anybody claim that Valve's entire earnings go into Linux gaming? Of course it's only a tiny fraction but that tiny fraction is more than anybody else put into Linux gaming.

Also, Gabe Newell also owns an Aston Martin sportscar team called Heart of Racing, so it's not just yachts. They'll compete in Le Mans next weekend in case anybody cares.

I'm not sure I follow. The comment I was replying to said Valve's 30% cut isn't being put towards buying yachts, but it is. Apparently racing teams too. Whether they're doing good things for linux gaming or not, Gabe is still a billionaire and he sure spends the money like one.
