There is no such thing as a good (or likeable) billionaire. Forbes says Newell has a net worth of $9.5 billion US dollars. Imagine all the good he could do with that money (with regards to hunger, poverty, access to medicine, education) but instead he uses it to do stupid shit like this.

As far as I know he's not a Nazi like Leon so he's got that going for him I guess.

And you realize that to access that money he would have to sell valve/steam?
