This article is pure clickbait. But eventually Gabe is going to die. And when that day happens we are going to see Valve either transform into a foundation, or become everything that it had resisted through its entire life. Gabe is a stand-up guy. No question.
His successors, are not going to be Gabe. They're going to chipaway at his philosophy. It's only a matter of time
Just like when Christopher Tolkien died. No one else was left to be passionate about his father's vision and desires.
I have to wonder if he's even still doing anything at Valve anymore since moving to New Zealand?
Wiki says he moved from NZ back to Seattle in 2021, did that change?
A CEO that does not do anything provides stability to the company. (/s)
When management manages (making changes) you can often wonder: Wouldn't it be better if they did nothing instead?
This is my real fear as well. I love Gabe but what happens afterwards… I would work for him in a second and I’m just hoping he finds enough people who have the same philosophy to continue his work.
