Valve boss Gabe Newell reveals daily routine in bizarre new interview: "I get up, I work, I go scuba-diving, then work some more"

You stated your opinion as a fact, and qualified it by saying you're a game dev.
Back up that claim. Shouldn't be hard to do.Let’s connect on LinkedIn

Let's not, and both know you haven't made any games.

Your opinion is your own, I’m not justifying myself to a loser online.

What handheld is he playing in the top image? Looks too small to be a steam deck

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.

Ok, fantasy game dev lmao

He said he's having fun 🤪
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.
Linus Torwalds seems to agree as per TIL post earlier this week.

Rts and sci-fi not fantasy

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.
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.

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.
Power always corrupts.

Maybe it's you!
Thanks, but I have my very reasonable doubts

We believe in you, rottingleaf!
Thx, will remember that

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.

Well no shit I'm talking about issues which actually relate directly to their role.
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.

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.

I hope that he decides to work on a neutral payment processing system. Cooperating with the EU's Linux initiatives, he can probably put quite a bit of weight onto the scale, making a digital Euro into a thing.

There's no reason to idolize the man.
I'm not doing that, just saying it. There's no reason to idolize anything. Even idols. Antique Mediterranean was better for being as religiously pluralistic as rural China.
