Rich people don't do anything for free. Maybe he didn't get a wage, but he was compensated. The article linked here >>37124 says his hometown was rebuilt and repopulated in return.
But my question was what for? The info, the intellectual product he gave, or the work, the tutoring he did.

>>37124
Well it seems, it wasn't the info, but the teaching.
>You can't keep a school open for almost 300 years without paying people something to keep it up and running tbh fam
Yes, but they could teach literal bullcrap (part of it sure was) or pure gold, no difference. They were paid for the act of giving and not for the substance.

>>37122
Yes it seems.
Further we can conclude that information in itself, has no value.

Ofc course they deserve compensation, but the point was of the article that the scheme - "selling" the games - is the wrong way to do it, because you don't pay for something that has no value, but you pay because otherwise you can be arrested or sued, or both... basically it's an extortion.
