"And if I was wrong, I'd have to go back to Microsoft."

    Looks like PC Gamer is going to be mining this for multiple articles; there’s another one talking about how he got started at Microsoft because he was yelled at by Steve Balmer for distracting his brother, who was working there writing a C compiler at the time. I think I’ll just watch the video, it’s about a half-hour.

    Well it’s been quite a long time since I’ve seen what Gabe Newell looked like. I love that he now looks like that.

      That’s an old photo, I think, articles just use the same one over and over again.

      Apparently this is a picture from last year, during his introduction to The International. Lost more weight, but also looks older.

        I’m pretty sure he was cleanshaven and had dark hair last time I saw him. 😂

          That’s his super old look. I think since Covid he’s been staying in New Zealand most of the time, owns a Marine Research company, and occasionally does interviews, so there’s like two sets of pictures, that constantly get posted, when an article is about Valve/Gaben.

          The white beard has even been a thing for years before that though, just now his head is also starting to match the color.

            Yeah, like I said, been a long time. I sincerely love his look though. 🙂
