Jesus, what a shitty interview, this just shows how Gabe Newell is a pure redditor neckbeard pseudo intellectual hack, and a fat fucking dork.
All this talk about how "fun it is to develop games" shows how little he's ever had in his companies game development, because I've done those jobs, they aren't fun, they are tedious and boring unless you're the slave master at the top who does no work at all, when Management actually helps you and struggles with you it's not a terrible strain but it's still not "fun" fuck that lazy ass.
All that talk about AI, internet technology, and brain connection interface shit is the type of garbage only 12 year olds and autists think matters or is realistic, no Gabe neither me personally nor anyone realistically would or wants to plug their brain into your corporate VR cum machines and have it poke needles into our skulls, maybe ask that question again in the next 50 years because it's not happening now, so stop dicking around and actually get back to making actual video games, not streamer cash grab bait like DotA or card games, not over hyped VR "game" tech demos that are going to flop, real fucking video games.
I mean he is a billionaire and you are some faggot on Yas Forums sooo

It might be fun at a company with flexible deadlines and no publisher breathing down it's neck. Valve is in such a unique position that it's silly to act like you understand what is and is not enjoyable about working there.

Elijah Taylor
Someone born between 1945 and 1965. Such as Gabe.
Henry Cruz
Yes that's boomer shit, boomers love to dream about shit that isn't possible
Ayden Fisher
Man imagine wasting time reading OP’s drivel. Who glances at that garbled rant and thinks there is anything interesting or insightful contained in it? I’m betting OP didn’t even proofread his word salad, which raises the question of why anyone else should bother read it either.
that's the definition of a zoomer maybe go cry more about how you need the poor to pay for your college
Gavin Flores
You've never worked for a private company with the same work structure as Valve. If you did you would have said you worked for them. You cannot compare how it is to develop games under their offices vs other publicly traded companies with deadlines and quotes. Valve hasn't released a single player game in 9 years. They genuinely don't give a fuck. They have money rolling in from Steam and no one putting pressure on them to generate more revenue. They can sit back and wait to make something they truly believe is worth making. It's NOT the same environment you are trying to relate to like the autistic sperg you are, desperate to feel like you belong and are important. You're not.
Ryder Hughes
I feel bad for the devs, in the mid to late 2000s they were peak, everyone wanted to play their games, everyone wanted to use the source engine, now all their online games are dead, and nobody wants their shitty polished version of an engine from 2004.
Henry Ross
Hahahahahaha no it's more akin to a mini game you'd put inside an actual game or an arcade.
I see. What would constitute an actual game, then?
Henry Stewart
[Thing he likes], obviously.
James Williams
Have you worked for Valve, specifically? Because I guarantee what you experience in these jobs varies a lot from company to company.
Luke Williams
I don’t give a fuck. When is the Artifact relaunch?
Charles Ross
If it's a low poly 2d point and click game with simple as fuck gameplay and loot boxes, it's not a real video game, it's a mobile game you play at your desk

this interview was worth the weight.
John Turner
I would imagine the culture of working for Valve is different from say Rockstar or EA.

You were right on the money.
Jeremiah Ward
pbuh
Mason Johnson
I think it was an really interesting interview and proves Gabe is based as fuck.
You're like the religious fundamentalists in that movie Contract who don't want mankind to progress.
Oliver Anderson
Man I just want HL3 and maybe some new FPS IP that is something completely different. Would be a nice change in times where every big budged game is a boring third person movie game.
Ayden Price
That's the same shit that faggots back in the day said about everything. You guys are such sad fucking faggots. Have some hope in your life you retard.
At this point everything Gabe says should be taken as a grain of salt. Can't hate the guy since he seems to be ashamed of the flops that Valve made and the fact that he's still white trash underneath all that money and fat, but his fucking work ethic? questionable. You cant just roam from project to project and handling only the problems you want to deal with and delegating everything else.
Gavin Wright
So that mean Hillary Clinton is better human being than you?
Ryan Moore
I'm a game programmer at a reasonably large vidya company and I'm loving it at this place and frequently find it fun. It varies by company and by studio etc. Just depends where you go. I mean, even from what I've heard of the other studios under this company, those other studios can be pretty tedious to work in sometimes, but the place I'm at is great and has always been good while I've been here. Probably mostly due to the managers here having an unofficial "no asshole" policy where they won't hire people who seem like they'll be a pain to work with, even if they're technically very skilled. You sound like a bitter asshole that we wouldn't hire so maybe that's why you've been at companies with a shitty atmosphere having your soul sucked out of you. kek

>They can sit back and wait to make something they truly believe is worth making. But that is not game development. That is just waste of resources. It is like cooking in restaurant that is closed.
John Miller
They're doing what they want while you have to work to survive and you're bitter.
Julian Powell
Its fucking videogames, its already a waste of resources.
His point was that they probably don't have hard deadlines since they have constant, reliable cash flow, meaning they can spend pretty much as much time as they like in development. >food analogy wew it's like marinading meat for hours (while the restaurant is closed!) and cooking it properly instead slapping some ready prepared shit in the microwave
Jose Jones
Fuck off. Half life, l4d and Portal are video games, DotA and Artifact aren't games, even Alyx doesn't seem to be a full fledged video game, I bet it will be just five hours long
Zachary Wilson
You too
Parker Kelly
>meaning they can spend pretty much as much time as they like in development Thats never a good thing, so many examples of games that took a decade to make never ended well, like Duke Nukem or crackdown
Julian Richardson
When your work produce nothing it is not work. And that is Valve. I am bitter because they could make Half Life 3. But they chose to do nothing instead.
Gabriel Taylor
you sound like a bitter, paranoid autismo
Logan Wright
>pure redditor neckbeard pseudo intellectual hack Can someone fluent in meme shitposting decipher this please
Christian Johnson
When they end up taking that long then yeah they're usually in development hell, probably lack of direction or just general incompetence, who knows (seem to remember with Crackdown there was a lot of outsourcing and devs just nope-ing the fuck outta there) It's good for devs to be able to spend longer making things better though instead of cutting a load of things due to deadlines, but I do agree with you that without any hard limit it can easily spiral out of control
You worked in some shit studio so no wonder you were handled like a slave. His company has practically unlimited resources and they can afford making one game for 10+ years. Go back to your cagy wagy

No one that fat is a quality person. Coronachan bless us with a purge.

You're an unimaginative brainlet, the only thing that's fun is creating novel experiences and enabling novel technologies. Not crafting well made but ultimately derivative entertainments. t. scientist.
