It involves golden tickets and the unsolved disappearances of a handful of children.
Brutal, I know, but it's the only way.
I selfishly wish he had a son or daughter to carry on his legacy lol
More generations deserve to know how good Valve is.
Son/daughter would be like "ugh, this is lame, I want to play real-world games with peoples' lives. ..like, corporate wars, or screw-the-smallguy."
Kids never handle the inheritance right, and passing on the experiences they need in order to do so is hard as fuck.
He has 2 kids lol. The eldest - Gray Newell, seems to be more into racing than game dev, though.
Yeah but whales are gonna get all the tickets. There's no IRL Charlie luck magic.
Grandpa Joe's probably a whale.
I need that comic where the girl is super frugal about everything except one particular thing.
Chat GPT predicts one of the kids will...
...get physically pulled into valves code? Not sure how that happens lol
🎵 One clicked on files they shouldn't dare Now lost in code, they've disappeared in air Gaben warned, but they didn't heed Now in the depths of Steam, they'll forever plead
🎵 Oompa loompa doompety dah If you're not careful, you'll go too far Respect the rules when visiting Gaben's lair Or vanish forever, lost in Valve's software!
It really is.
