Valve boss Gabe Newell reveals daily routine in bizarre new interview: "I get up, I work, I go scuba-diving, then work some more"
-
This isn’t a job interview I’m not obliged to give you my CV. I’m stating an opinion that valve and steam are not the friendly aw shucks corporation they’ve been whitewashed into.
-
You started your opinion as a fact, and qualified it by saying your a game dev. Back up that claim. Shouldn't be hard to do.

It's a Steam Deck, he has big hands.

Ironic because Gabe appreciation is still kind of cult like.I'm sure that's *why* he doesn't seek attention, he already has too much.
-
Yup, if I was worth an obscene amount, I'd still work, but the nature of my work would change. It sounds like he found something he enjoys that happens to make a ton of money.
-
Nothing bizarre about that. Scuba diving is nice for some people who are shall we say neuro spicy. Nothing I enjoy more than going to the bottom and just chilling in water.

Hey if Gabe wants to make Linux phones something to be taken seriously I’m all for that. Until then, Gemini creeps me the fuck out so no android. I can tolerate Siri being fucking dumb.

Gabe Newell is better than many others, but this is true, the best man on Earth will become an absolute pissbag given power for continuous enough period of time to realize that. And the best man on Earth is probably some volunteer medic in some African warzone, not a computer programmer and a tech businessman.

Thanks, but I have my very reasonable doubts
-
Thx, will remember that

Ironic because Gabe appreciation is still kind of cult like.

Ironic because Gabe appreciation is still kind of cult like.Honestly I think the reason for the pseudo cult think is three parts he doesn't want it, he keeps his head down, and valve generally produces decent services and products. If any of those disappeared folks would probably stop it to a large degree.

> unless it's a business shattering literally apocalyptic event. If that's not an issue relating directly to their role I don't know what it. The only reason they'd wake up 3AM for some crisis is if either the market is collapsing or their company is collapsing. Those things happening unexpectedly is something the majority of CEO-s will never experience. I guess it doesn't suck to be a CEO when the sucky thing almost never happen.

I think you missed the point. No one was talking about Android or iOS. We were talking about Windows and Linux. Valve's investment in Linux began back in the Windows Vista days when MS tried to control Windows the same way that Apple does with iOS.You literally mentioned iOS above. And my point stands. If Gabe were to start porting those games to a Linux phone of some sort, it would really help that platform, much like he’s helped the Linux community and his own business interests. Him going after Microsoft benefits everybody. Him going after Apple could do the same.
