    This article is pure clickbait. But eventually Gabe is going to die. And when that day happens we are going to see Valve either transform into a foundation, or become everything that it had resisted through its entire life. Gabe is a stand-up guy. No question.

    His successors, are not going to be Gabe. They’re going to chipaway at his philosophy. It’s only a matter of time

      I have to wonder if he’s even still doing anything at Valve anymore since moving to New Zealand?

        Wiki says he moved from NZ back to Seattle in 2021, did that change?

        Insights from Dior, a prominent figure in the Counter-Strike community, reveal that Gabe Newell owns less than 25% of Valve.

        Huh, I didn’t know that. (emphasis mine)

          I still don’t know it. I don’t have a huge amount of confidence in “a prominent figure in the Counter-Strike community” as a source for Valve’s internal finances.
