That's King Von, a notoriously ruthless and deceased drill rapper known for needing to get revenge or "get back". Maybe Steam is taking vengeance for the guy who got hacked? That's all I've got.

Thank you for explaining the joke, Peter. I had no fucking clue who that guy was.

As others have said, it's King Von. He's been linked to 7 murders, which were mentioned directly or hinted at in his songs. There's videos of him supplying huge amounts of cash to his inner circle to organize hits on other people, and he tweeted basically every single one in some way or another, with the entire thing was funded by another drill rapper, Lil Durk. Durk had mainstream fame and used his money and industry connections to hire lawyers to keep Von out of jail, help Von create music & then get him signed to a label to continue funding everything.

Von died after being shot when he attacked someone in a rival gang.

Durk went to jail after someone snitched on him for hiring a hit on that gang in retaliation. Durk is also connected to other murders.
