minus-squarelemmyvore@feddit.nllinkfedilinkEnglisharrow-up87·1 年前Also Gabe hates Microsoft, and Valve is a private company so he doesn’t have to sell.
minus-square9point6@lemmy.worldlinkfedilinkEnglisharrow-up34·1 年前I’m assuming there will be a willy wonka style competition to determine his heir any day now
minus-squareKnock_Knock_Lemmy_In@lemmy.worldlinkfedilinkEnglisharrow-up7·1 年前A reality show I would watch.
minus-squareandrew@lemmy.stuart.funlinkfedilinkEnglisharrow-up1·1 年前That’s exactly what Half Life 3 will be.
minus-squarepsycho_driver@lemmy.worldlinkfedilinkEnglisharrow-up16·1 年前He and Linus both will leave behind interesting vacuums.
minus-squareflying_sheep@lemmy.mllinkfedilinkEnglisharrow-up9·1 年前Not Linus. He has a lot of people he trusts
minus-squaresugar_in_your_tea@sh.itjust.workslinkfedilinkEnglisharrow-up10·1 年前I’m guessing Gabe Newell does too. I highly doubt he hasn’t considered succession at this point, and I’m guessing people he trusts are already largely running everything anyway.
minus-squareblargerer@kbin.sociallinkfedilinkarrow-up8arrow-down3·1 年前Obviously this is fake, but if it was spinning off steam from the game developer, then maybe?
minus-squareoverload@sopuli.xyzlinkfedilinkEnglisharrow-up4·1 年前$12b seems far too low by that comparison. 30% of all games sales would be an outrageous annual figure.
minus-squareHotzilla@sopuli.xyzlinkfedilinkEnglisharrow-up2·edit-21 年前If steam is included, 12b is a joke, if just valves game rights, meaning HL and CS, then the price is not THAT stupid (still quite). Maybe this would be the way go get HL3, it would ofc be horrible cashgrab, but HL3 would be out. Edit: bit details, in 2021 Valve had $10b revenue from steam, and $3b revenue from other sources (heh, source, get it)
