Valve’s argument isn’t in defense of free speech, it’s in defense of Gabe’s next yacht.

For the record, Gabe already has six yachts. More than anyone on earth*. Including the world’s largest yacht*.

(* Roman Abramovich has owned 8 different yachts, but not at the same time).
(* The Abu Dhabi royal family owns a bigger yacht, if we include state-assets then technically it is #2).
