*"If we're making people happy, the money will work itself out"* god, if only other companies would think like that

[grud]

"If we make people happy the money will work itself out". This should be the most important rule of every business class everywhere. Way too many people do not understand this very simple truth.

[ralkey]

I absolutely love Gabe as a CEO of a game company.
I honestly wish other companies can take a note out of Gabe's book.

[Pikminiman]

I wonder if Gabe appreciates how influential he actually is within gaming and publishing.

[mopo]

If you ever make a part 3, please name it Part 2: Episode One

[Zhiloaxeman]

I kinda wish Gabe would just have people he knows make wild stuff up about him whenever asked about it. like, "I shit you not, i was there when Gabe single-handedly painted a clown face on the side of the Chrisler building using a bungee cord and some oil paints and brushes"

[SystemUnderSiege]

Gabe is the real G-Man. Periodically watching you and nudging things towards his ultimate goal

[lynx]

valve is such an enigma. they are really the only big corporation that actually understand how the industry works. it's absolutely insane how no other company has executives that share even a single thought with gaben

As someone who spent my youth playing Valve games, these games contributed significantly to my choice of Computer Engineering for my bachelor's degree.
During my undergraduate education, I became more interested in Game Engines and games in terms of engineering, so I started my game engine project and master's degree in Computer Vision and Graphics this year! Now one of my professional goals is to work as a Software Engineer at Valve and take roles in Game Engines (Source 2 and Source 4! We all know Source 3 is impossible haha) and games. I'm glad that I discovered this youtube channel. Thanks a lot for the video.

Gabe sounds like a well-balanced CEO. He sounds fun, educative and knows that devs need encouragement and help for refining their ideas in order to create a great game. I feel as though a lot of their developing time is used on innovation rather than making games and it might be that they have plans to make games and sequels but its all been put on the backburner. If they're going to make a sequel, they want to make it better than the last. I would like to know what ex-employees think of Gabe.

Valve is one of the very few (if not the only) AAA studios that I can honestly say I’ve never seen any news come out about there being rampant sexism or racism behind the scenes

[froggyproductions]

isn't john also the voice of some citizens in hl2?

[jonelervorths]

He seems to have visions. I applaud it, fullfilling your creative vision is hardly ever done in video games.

[vortexian]

I'm so jealous of all of the cool action figures and props they have in the background

[Garnansoa]

interesting to see that many of these devs seemingly play music too, creativity breeds creativity I guess

[Bittrhlz]

"If we're making people happy, the money will work itself out!" Words that any game company CEO should live by. And it clearly shows (Palworld, Helldivers 2, Baldurs Gate 3, Enshrouded.... and so on)

0:25 “THAT HELMETS GONNA MAKE A NICE BOWL FOR YA BRAINS” -John Lowrie

[SMGJohn]

Valve wont be no more when Gaben goes, thats such a shame, I hope Gaben just lets New Zealand government to nationalise Valve permanently and writes a law that Valve can never be sold or dismantled.

[Jebu]

I mean gaben gave the world dota 2 for free during a time when f2p games werent really a thing. Truly a generous god.

That broken guitar in the background of Mike's room needs some help
