“NO NO NO YOU HAVE TO COME TO THE COVID ZONE IN PERSON! YOU HAVE TO TAKE YOUR MASK OFF EVERY TIME YOU TALK!”

They really are just trying to force people to get Covid, huh?

I think gabe sucks personally but it is fucked to make someone take off their mask. He’s got health problems.

“Nuh uh, there’s nothing that makes him individually more likely to get Covid compared to anyone else and it’s haaaarmless so nobody should worry! Take off your mask so we can hear you different when you speak into the microphone.”

I don’t think you normally kiss a stranger on New Year’s.

Damn that’s pretty dark. What would constitute serious risk? He’s old. That’s a risk right there. He’s overweight (no judgement, it is what it is). Also a risk.

Not cool. Happening to way more people than just Gabe Newell I’m sure. If I were him, I’d try to get air filters in that room near my face.

yea I’m not about to defend a billionaire but the no mask thing is so weird. Like I still wear a mask when I go out to the store or whatever and have never (even going back to 2020) had anyone be like “bwuh??? I can’t understand you because of your mask”

You must arrive in person to the torment nexus and you must wear the pauldrons of pain the whole time.

Wonder if he’ll sue the court? That seems pretty hostile behavior to a witness…

Gabe is a billionaire. He could just not show up and email the judge a picture of his hairy butthole. Not like they’re gonna ever do much to him

This is mostly true. He could pitch a minor fit and have this taken care of. If you have enough money you can do anything in the legal system.

It probably wouldn’t go well for his case, for sure. Ask Trump or Alex Jones.

He should show up and wear a N95 no matter what the judge or anyone says. If they try to physically remove the mask (unlikely) or tell him he has to leave if he won’t (more likely) then that’s easy appeal grounds that he (probably) can’t lose.

Also this judge should be in prison for this shit.

I’m not interested in defending a billionaire like Gabe. Don’t care. But on a purely humanistic level, if Donald Trump was being hauled into court and wanted to wear a mask, he should absolutely be allowed to do so. This is just evil and honestly attempted murder considering Gabe’s age and health.
