Gabe is very good looking.
Seriously, this guy is down to earth with his customers, he replies to all your mail, he gives us AMAZING deals, and provides us with great returns. Gabe Newell deserves more respect.
Good on Gabe for winning it, but honestly what has he done for the industry this year? I can't think of anyone else who deserves the award but then again Gabe hasn't done much either. All he's done is made statements for his fans to circle jerk over, and you could probably attribute (to a degree) Portal 2 for being in relation to Gabe. That's it.

[QUOTE=Atlascore;33805331]He's not a liar, he just over hypes game features. He talked about the "radiant quest" system like it was some kind of revolutionary feature, but it was really just a random quest generator that told you to go kill bandits at x location. He did the same thing years ago with Oblivion's AI.[/QUOTE] He's been lying since bloody morrowind.

Skyrim is not a console port! You can sabotage economies! You can clear out entire towns!

Every now and then there's a person who is impossible not to love, who will always strive for the enjoyment of the life of the common man. Gabe Newell is one such person, and he deserves every second of praise.
he deserves it i was about to vote for carmack just because carmack is a god among men, but gabe is the one that has really been doing cool stuff this year
Gabe Newell is one of the best people in the game industry today.
Gabe in first, Todd is second. As it should be.
I still think it's kind of a dick move to turn the latest game of a cool franchise (TF) into what it is today.. a marketing gimmick, whatever you wanna call it.

[QUOTE=Bat-shit;33806022]I still think it's kind of a dick move to turn the latest game of a cool franchise (TF) into what it is today.. a marketing gimmick, whatever you wanna call it.[/QUOTE] Although some of the things that have been added are questionable, the game wouldn't be nearly as popular now as it would be if there was only a few updates. Anyway, I have no problems with what Valve did to TF2 because I enjoyed it for four years. Plus, its just more money to Valve's pocket (and more money for EP3 development)
With all this Gabe love, I am surprised that Garry doesn't ban all of you for insubordination! LONG LIVE GARRY!!!!!!!
[QUOTE=valkery;33806204]With all this Gabe love, I am surprised that Garry doesn't ban all of you for insubordination! LONG LIVE GARRY!!!!!!![/QUOTE] Garry wouldn't have made it big without Gabe.
[QUOTE=Bat-shit;33806022]I still think it's kind of a dick move to turn the latest game of a cool franchise (TF) into what it is today.. a marketing gimmick, whatever you wanna call it.[/QUOTE] It's still playable.
Gabe Newell is such a nice person, coolest company boss I've ever seen. Long live the king!
[QUOTE=The First 11'er;33806406]It's still playable.[/QUOTE] And it still has some pretty great characters, considering people are still making jokes about them. Plus it looks pretty cool, [I]and[/I] it does make you work in a team.
[QUOTE=JCDentonUNATCO;33806054](and more money for EP3 development)[/QUOTE] lol
GabeN is the best ever, and we all know it. Also, Peter Moleyneux doesn't really [B]lie[/B], he just promises things that aren't necessarily going to be able to be fit into the game in time constraints. I mean, he's still no match for gaben and I have no idea why I'm defending him (because fable 3 sort of went BACKWARDS from fable 2..) but yeah.
If only Gabe would care for his health a little bit more. And I don't like Todd Howard. In all the interviews I saw with him he seemed like somone I would not like if I met him in real life.

Gabe for President '12
He's one ugly SOAB though

[media]http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=W_iJkSmiclg&feature=related[/media] You may delay games but it is for the best, and you may be overweight but it comes out with some hilarious reactions. Gabe Newell knows how to handle his hate, he doesn't blow up he just takes it in and jokes about it, like a human should. <3 GabeN <3
Gabe is best CEO all year every year You destroyed my wallet though
Would vote for Peter Molyneux but that would be in the universe where microsoft is not raping the studio. Lionhead still owns the right to develop Populous 4, Dungeon Keeper 3 and perhaps Theme Park 2 But those are all PC games so now they are enslaved to make more Fable games for the Xbox 360 Honestly Molyneux has brilliant ideas
I'd have put my favourite 3 as Tarn Adams, followed by Gabe, then Carmack.
