He never made video games. He was only the business guy.

Because he literally build up a new empire based on games, rather than making then.

And because, as you can tell from his physique, is a lazy fucker

He was never a game developer.

He was a software engineer for Windows who saw the genius in Bill Gates and saw the PC gaming market as his big chance to become a billionaire.

He was never creative director, he was never a large part in developing the source engine. He was simply the man who could handle the resources to have a team develop such a masterpiece.

Half-life was accomplished through the genius of many artists, it wasn't a Kojima-like brainchild series.

Into his bank account!

Too many entitled gamers called him fat, and he's put Half-Life 3 on such low priority because of it. Valve employees would rather work on hat related jobs than pretend they're making progress on the understaffed Half-Life 3 project.

Seeing his posts on reddit regarding the paid mods Valve and Bethesda tried to implement last year showed in its purest form how disillusioned he is now.

Gabe Newell being 'the good guy' of the video game industry has been a dead sentiment for years now. With Steam being the dominating PC game storefront, Valve never has to make a game ever again, except for further gambling add-on support of Dota 2, CSGO, and the unoccasional TF2 update.

I had a damn good time while Valve still made games. TF2, especially.

Literally.

Passion is secondary to profit, this is true in any field that can be commodified.

Its all about the money now, who cares about the fans when they suck your dick anyways?

I like Left 4 dead.

Fuck that other tf and dota crap, bring back l4d.

You now realize he was always just an ideas/business man and never had any creativity and all the people who did have since left valve. They are no better than activision and you likely fell for a meme cult of personality, due to your lack of independence.

he working on it

Why make anything new when you can make a fuckton of money off skins and hats?

He'll make more games when he starts losing money. The whole """""""""""""""""""""valve culture""""""""""""""""""""" thing also helps sales

He's a megajew, why would he make more games?

he knows he would not top his other games

so true it hurts

All of "his" or "Valve"'s good ideas were literally stolen from other developers, exception being Half Life if I'm not mistaken. He and his team have been artistically bankrupt for more than a decade and they literally have no incentive to develop a game that's going to face DNF-levels of hype and even bigger levels of scrutiny. Every big name game goes through that and mostly to just be shat on as they become more and more jewie.

Also, no one's made it for him to buy out and publish as his own.

...

Is gabe only a suit or does he know how to program?

...

He got fucking downvote nuked.

His passion is the PC as a gaming platform. Currently he's deeply worried about its future. He's already dragged the PC back from Microsoft's first attempt to consign it to the dustbin of history. Now he's facing off against their most serious attempt yet to kill it and turn it into just an extension of the Xbox.

It doesn't make sense right now for Valve to invest their efforts on an original game right now, not when Windows 7 is months away from no longer being supported on the latest hardware meaning that its effective EOL as a gaming platform could arrive much sooner than the previously announced 2020 EOL. Gaben knows that Linux is the future, and that's why he's hired the best devs in the industry not only to port Valve's own games but to port the games from third parties who were having trouble as well.

TTimo and Icculus are working for Valve now. On their shoulders rests the future of the PC as we know it.

He started to play Dota
