The problem is that you can never be certain about someone's ability to stand their morals atop money until it is truly offered to them. Supposedly Gaben has turned down Billion dollar offers for steam. It is certainly not every person who will do so and it is hard to know how a person will react until that is truly offered to them. I don't know that I'd turn it down (though I also don't know how much Gaben makes).
