Because his billions were earned from offering an actually decent service beholden to the customers rather than the shareholders, something not many other billionaires seem capable of. Yeah, nobody needs a billion dollars but literally everyone else in the gaming industry would rather shoot themselves in the foot to make a penny now rather than… Just simply not do that and make a dollar later.
You cannot possibly earn a billion dollars. That money is the excess labor value of Valve workers. In the context of how our society is currently structured Gaben certainly isn’t the worst of them, but he’s still a member of the parasite class.

Ah, the shortsighted joy of publicly traded companies.
You are apparently unaware of the literal tens of thousands of youtube/twitter/media people who basically did/do nothing other than promote Elon and everything he does.
Elon Musk Can Multitask Better Than You.
Elon’s new Hyperloop will revolutionize transit in America!
Tesla’s stock price will be $42,690 per share in 5 years, here’s why.
…
Its about a million times more obnoxious than people pointing out that Gabe actually knows what he’s talking about.
…
You can go outside and strike up a conversation with any random person, and they will almost certainly know who Elon is, and most people will still think he is some kind of genius real life Tony Stark.
You can go outside and strike up a random convo with any random person about Gabe, and chances are 98% of people will have no idea who you are talking about, unless you are at some kind of nerd/geek type outing like a video game convention, and even then, people under 20 - 25 are not likely to know who he is.
EDIT: Yeah, I am actually fairly confident that for you to make a statement like that, you probably, unironically, need to touch grass.
I fail to see any way you could have that opinion other than that basically all you do is argue on video game forums / discords / twitch / whatever, and that you just have almost 0 contact with real life human beings, or online spaces that do not revolve around video games.
I’ve never seen a billionaire get defended like Gaben.
He literally owns a billion dollars worth of yatchs yet I’ve seen his simp squad compare him to Jesus, lmao.

Isn’t valve considered an amazing place to work at in the gaming industry?
Yeah, if valve started taking step towards enshittification people would turn on Gabe too.
Ah, the shortsighted joy of publicly traded companies.
Homeboy ran a casino targeting gamers for at least a billion.
Every other game company does that, too, ON TOP of all the other shit they do.
