2 Steve's at the price of 1. That means he took the work of Woz and paid him nothing? Talk about being fair...

[@anothervoyager9654]

Supposedly Jobs paid Wozniak a part of his earnings at Atari but it is known now that he wasn't transparent to him about how much he earned doing those works, especially with the game Breakout.

[@malarkey5643]

Steve paid the half to Woz, Steve never told him that there was an extra bonus for every missing chip
