    I hope he has some sort of contingency plan. Perhaps he can find a successor.

      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.

      If you’re reading this GabeN, make Valve a non-profit.

        Worker co-op. Non-profits are pretty easy to rig for the benefit of the C-levels.

          Easy-peasey to rig. Worker co-op isn’t a bad idea.

          I vote that as a second to finding a successor, and giving the whole thing to them, sans whatever kickbacks to family etc that he wants.

            Well I’m glad we’ve all found an equitable and legally binding way to divide Lord Gaben’s assets on his death!

            And they say the Internet never solved anything.

              Honestly, an open letter couldn’t hurt.

        I hope that GabeO will be ready for release soon.

          He’s been on 4chan since before he started the company. Why do you think they got so popular so quick?
