Gabe Newell Wins Readers Choice Person of the Year!

He is one of the few owners of a multi million dollar corporation who seems like a genuinely nice guy
Well deserved, for what he said upon DRM and piracy, for the free portal2 DLC, and for how good working steam is in general.
There must be some sort of a mind controlling pheromones in his fat molecules.
Definitely deserves it, Valve has been the shining star in an often drab world of PC gaming, and probably largely thanks to Gabe.
Why can I not stop smiling whenever I look at a picture of Gabe?
[QUOTE=Major Helper;33803210]Great in every dimension! All hail Gabe![/QUOTE]
His gravitational field even curves the 4th.
[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]
The thing is - it works. Not that people regret buying Skyrim though, its still pretty damn awesome.
But yeah, Valve and Tripwire are my favorite gamedevs at the moment.
[QUOTE=Clovernoodle;33803212]Just goes to show, Gabe, even if we joke about your weight and complain about delays, we still love you.

How can anyone hate him, just look at that face.
You can't hate that.
[QUOTE=UberMunchkin;33809957]Gabe Newell is probably the most friendliest game developer ever.
Back in June, I emailed Gabe, and asked him for his autograph. He was willing to send it to the U.K, and it was signed on this:

But, like most multi-million dollar corporation owners, an amount of his fortune comes from needlessly exploiting the customer base.
this was worth the weight
What would Valve do without him.
Gabe is totally worthy his weight in gold.
Though we don't have enough gold.
I rarely hear bad stuff about Gabe. It's nice that he's friendly n shit, but sometimes I wonder what he's actually like :rolleye:
All hail Gabe, the most awesome person on planet Earth!
[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]
That was Robin Walker's fault, not Gabe's.
The things I'd do to that man sexually...

Elaborate?
One step closer to president.
[QUOTE=Captain Chalky;33812616]If you don't include the weight of his gigantic heart, we will have more than enough.[/QUOTE]
But if we didn't include his heart, he'd be weightless.
And rightfully so.
Gabe is so cool.
I think Gabe is a pretty cool guy.
He makes games and doesn't afraid of any fat jokes.
[quote]The game went on to sell more than 3 million copies[/quote] I was actually expecting more since if I remember correctly the mw3 elite thing got 6 million sells.

I want pictures of this. NOW.
It's official. Tired of Christmas becoming too corporate, Santa shaved, dyed his hair, and got into the video game business.

Yeah, this is fake.
He's lacking a hat. Why would the girls go after him if he wasn't wearing a hat?

Gabe has natural swag that we mere mortals could only dream of.

That's because Half Life 3 gets delayed an hour for every fat joke about Gaben is made.
This is supposed to be aired if wheatley wins the best videogame character award. But he didn't.

The thing about Valve unlike alot of companies nowadays is you can say they deserve and earnt every cent of income they have.
