Only 4 ships in his fleet

"Only" 4 megayachts. Its really wierd to me that gaben gets a pass on excessive resource consumption because he's"one of the good ones". People should not be dumping millions of dollars into private toys period. And if they do, one is certainly enough. Was a whole private superyacht not enough to satisfy a man? If not, how is 4 or 5 going to? Does he provide public housing to the poor in those things? Is he planning to invite all the steam gamers and make a floating independent country? Why are so many people like this? Where does the neverending hunger for more come from?

Well, you know how you get a pack of very good cookies, and think you only going to eat like two or three, but somehow you eat the whole pack anyway? Well, it's like that but with mega yachts. A pack of good cookies is bigger part of my overall budget than a good yacht is a part of Gaben's this month's income. Why wouldn't he get five. And besides, not all of his yachts are super yachts apparently, so it's all good and chill and cool.
Yeah, apparently we do give him a pass because steam is less shitty than it could be. Well, and also because he's not doing anything terrible that we know of, and in this economy I would take non pedo billionaire over all the rest.

He also now owns a company which makes megayachts.
