Billionaire boss annoying office workers with his Mongolian throat singing is something that would belong in a comedy if this was a film but in real life this story could be featured in a documentary about bosses from hell. Not to mention the impact it could have on productivity of Valve employees devising new ways of addicting children to gambling on Counter Strike gun skins. In a hindsight it might have been a good thing.
