      How much did they compensate that bald man who they installed a valve in the back of his head for the loading screen photo?

        That guy had it easy compared to the guy that had his eyeball replaced with a valve, and after everything he sacrificed they just stopped using his picture.

      My favourite factoid about that is that the minister of finance in Greece who was in charge during the Greek Debt Crisis was Yanis Varoufakis, the former economist-in-residence at Valve.

        Woah woah woah, really?

        I stumbled across a bunch of economic videos featuring him in the past. Yanis and Steam in the same sentence was never something I was expecting to see lol

          Yeah, I’m really curious about what he did there and how it influenced both him and Steam.
