There's something about his appearance that makes me think of him as one of those important character in an anime. He looks like the type of person you'd see in history books.
he's holding valve/steam together
I fear for the day he will die
realistically he's got 15-20 years left, optimistically more with billionaire-tier healthcare
Old people do that in general. They just stop caring about appearances since they don't need to impress anyone anymore. No more work dress code no more trying to impress the opposite sex or your fellow peers.
He's the final line of defense from the omnipresent threat of an IPO and shareholder israelites enshittifying the company in the name of quarterly profit.
Much like how The Emperor from WH40K appears to do jack shit on his golden throne but in actuality is basically the only thing stopping Chaos from immediately flooding out into the universe like a tsunami.
What do you think that anon meant when he said "He's the final line of defense from the omnipresent threat of an IPO"?
Do you think that means he thinks Valve is currently publicly traded?
He's more of a figurehead that doesn't actually have any active involvement in projects at valve.
But he does a lot of networking with other companies, like he'll get in contact with company Y because they have some cool tech X or whatever which could work well in project Z at valve.
I watched some interview where a Valve employee said they tried to have Gabe not intercede with game production too much because he sort of "ruined" their artistic vision. As bad as this sounds, the example given was Gabe wanted Glados to have a face while the designers didn't so maybe they are right. That was years ago. At some point he just accepted he was the "boss" figure and couldn't also be a "game maker" figure at the same time and relegated himself to managerial tasks.
Basically he made a very profitable game company filled with really good talent, so much that he doesn't have a place in it anymore.
Kinda sucks but also he's filthy rich.
Mike and Gabe were heavily involved in the design of Half-Life (supposedly they were the ones who pushed through all the jumping puzzles because they were obsessed with Mario 64). Mike left shortly after Half-Life shipped. While Gabe was involved in the early stages of Half-Life 2, about mid-way in he switched to working on Steam.
So yeah, probably for the best he doesn't get too involved in design.
shit like this makes me a little happy im not stupid fricking rich >be scared of coof for all of about 2 weeks >get it >its fricking nothing >didnt waste a billion dollars buying a hospital boat with staff
Haha yeah, it must suck to have the freedom to do and live literally wherever you want, whenever you want and have full access to medical care without having to share a hospital with other people and no wait. Imagine have 7 billion dollars instead of 6 billion dollars. What a drastic change.
He sometimes pokes his head out from his personal dimension and makes an executive decision. Like when Hatred got pulled off steam because of all the controversy, and he personally had it put back in.
I thought this was funny because it led to a deluge of cheap edgy shit getting greenlit on steam, culminating in Rape Simulator getting greenlit and then pulled from the platform and nobody really gave a shit after that.
He is a figure head. With how Valve works he doesn't actually do anything, but being a figure head. Only thing he does, if what people say is true, is try and see how to implement games into brain chips. I think he is kinda done with trying to push VR. I'm more interested what happened with every game project his son(s) were working on
valve are juggling hundred lawsuits at any time. people over here thinking they just sit on their ass when they have to comply with constantly changing laws that differ from country to country. it's what running a big business is like. not like any of you would know.
make money
the "steam" is his farts
He's meditating in an enclosed room and gathering energy. 2 more years and you will see some serious shit.
as in literal fecal matter?
I think that gay is talking about Darth Vader
requesting gaben in piccolo attire
Raids the fridge
Hogs the toilet
Casts spells
There's something about his appearance that makes me think of him as one of those important character in an anime. He looks like the type of person you'd see in history books.
ROMAN NOASE BVLLS STAY WINNING
And then you actually read the book and see his criminal background history and know he was actually a bad person.
gaben wizardmaxxed
he's holding valve/steam together
I fear for the day he will die
realistically he's got 15-20 years left, optimistically more with billionaire-tier healthcare

top secret snowdog development
Eat

He now has TF2 Janny for that, Gaben is occupied trying to win the 24 Hours of LeMans next year for Aston Martin

Fricking nothing. This homosexual is the Phil Jackson of video games. Overhyped piece of shit.
Eating
He eats, Jon. That's what he does
chills and counts the profit from his hard work early on in life
why he let his hair grow out like that?
Wizardmaxx
he wants to show off his superior genes and how despite being in his 60s , he's still not balding
im pretty sure he joined some scientology adjacent religion
Old people do that in general. They just stop caring about appearances since they don't need to impress anyone anymore. No more work dress code no more trying to impress the opposite sex or your fellow peers.
so then dudes in their 20s~30s who also let their hair grow out also don't care? lmao
Yup. That's why Hippies did it in the first place
Yeah.
Are you implying young men are incapable of giving up?
Why would they do that?
They have their whole lives ahead of them.
how is giving up and not giving a frick are considered to be the same to you
jerks off to bimbos
Imagine the prostitutes he brings to his yacht
>no sentry guns
one fricking mcjob, gabe
two of his yachts were in my area recently, ugly fricking things
probably ran by staff to make sure the engines still ran
All younger than 12...
WELCOME BACK MR NEWELL
Any billionaire anons around? What do you even do on a yacht? And he has two?? What the frick.
A yacht is like having a house but it's floating around and taking you somewhere.
Whatever you want, but also wherever you want.
buys yachts
He's the final line of defense from the omnipresent threat of an IPO and shareholder israelites enshittifying the company in the name of quarterly profit.
Much like how The Emperor from WH40K appears to do jack shit on his golden throne but in actuality is basically the only thing stopping Chaos from immediately flooding out into the universe like a tsunami.
>hareholder israelites
but gabe is israeli........
And the Emperor is a psyker.
Source?
Not literally.
valve is not publicly traded, go back to Ganker
your next line will be "his successor will sell out"
Not yet
That's why he's here, he leaves? it becomes public the next day.
What do you think that anon meant when he said "He's the final line of defense from the omnipresent threat of an IPO"?
Do you think that means he thinks Valve is currently publicly traded?
he's Gavin Stormcrow
Delivery boy.
Cute
Fricking hell those were some badr reactions. I almost felt bad for Gabe before I remembered he's one of the richest c**ts on earth.
if you look at his body languaje you realize he is either really socially moronic or a very high functioning autist.
gabe the babe is a white rider
He's more of a figurehead that doesn't actually have any active involvement in projects at valve.
But he does a lot of networking with other companies, like he'll get in contact with company Y because they have some cool tech X or whatever which could work well in project Z at valve.
I actually have more hope for concerned ape to give us free presents, than fricking steam.
>prevents ~~*(them*~~ from taking over and destroying it
This will happen as soon as he dies and one of his greedy sons sells the company for billions
Yup
by then society will have killed themselves.
>killed themselves
Nice reframing

impregnates all the new female interns
its his personal sex hog farm
>Leaves Valve HQ, goes to New Zealand, refuses to come back, refuses to elaborate.
What the hell was this fat frick's problem?
he has gained the fabled "frick you" status, he can do whatever the frick he wants, he probably could get away with murder if he ever tries.
How the frick did his hair go from that stiff look to the spaghetti straps he has now??
He stopped combing / giving a shit
>refuses to elaborate.
He was scared of the coof. He was always open about that.
shit like this makes me a little happy im not stupid fricking rich
>be scared of coof for all of about 2 weeks
>get it
>its fricking nothing

you make it sound like he doesn't lease it off to governments for more tax write offs
That was the excuse, but COVID hysteria is over now, and he still won't return.
He's back according to that one Deck interview. He says its good to be back in the offices, working with everyone face to face again.
>working
yeah, doing frick all.
ok
>Men age like wi-

is he actually thinner or is this the power of source 3
Waits as he flame runs out

He does stuff n' shieeeeeeeet
Holed up in his office playing Dota 2 all day.
Keeps his employees fed.
Keeps his employees dry.
Keeps his employees happy.
He's holding the fort and ensuring no one does anything stupid beyond screwing the playerbase with their failure to support and fix up Artifact.
valve are juggling hundred lawsuits at any time. people over here thinking they just sit on their ass when they have to comply with constantly changing laws that differ from country to country. it's what running a big business is like. not like any of you would know.
He gets to rest now
