The probability of releasing Half Life 3 is non-zero considering the lifespan of the universe and the possible existence of parallel dimensions.

Valve having such a stronghold on the market is both:
- amazing because of projects like this,
- frightening because we're one Gabe brain damage away from having PC Gaming enshittified.
I avoid buying from Steam and prefer GOG when I can because I don't really want to have continued access to my games collection be dependent on Gabe eating his veggies, avoiding saturated fats and doing at least a 30m walk a day to keep the risk of a heart attack low and look both ways before he crosses a road so as not to be run over by a car.
In almost 4 decades as a gamer and a techie I've seen plenty of good companies turn into evil companies and start to leverage whatever dependencies customers had on them to pretty much blackmail them into paying more, sometimes after the founders died, others when the founders cashed out or just lost interest in managing the company's direction and yet others because they were evil all along and just hid it whilst they built their customer base - enshittification isn't a XXI century thing, what's XXI century about it is that many companies nowadays already have it as part of their mid and long term strategy from the start.
Best avoid situations where you give power to some big company (for whom you as an individual customer are basically a nameless bacteria) over something you care about, unless you have no other choice, even if at the moment they're basically a benevolent dictatorship.
Better safe than sorry.

Valve is set up as a horizontal organization. I expect that to continue after Gaben's death. He doesn't really do much at valve these days anyway.
Yeah, well, somebody is going to inherit his share of ownership, and even if he goes out of his way and sets up a Foundation for the purpose of preserving the founder's strategical vision for the company that will inherit his share, such Foundations tend to over time end up subverted and doing the very opposite of what the founder would've wanted.
Great customer friendly companies turning to shit when the founder dies is the kind of thing that happens all the time.
Best avoid situations were your shit is hostage to the whims of a big company for whom you as an individual customer are irrelevant.

I like to believe the main reason he got into BCI research is to digitize himself and live on as an actual Steam Machine.
GabeCube
sorry by dose is stuffed.
GabeCube™, GabeGoggles™ and the GabeController™. Maybe we'll get a GabeBoy™ next
Maybe we’ll get a GabeBoy™ next
steam deck
While that comment was made as a meme, and I certainly thought of the Steam Deck, what I was initially thinking was about a super efficient SteamBoy of sorts.
An ARM-based, powerful, power-efficient, and pocketable handheld to play select retro games from Steam. And of course it will support emulation. It's just wishful thinking at this point but would be great. I think a smaller handheld would pair nicely with the Steamdeck.

Looks familiar…
Indeed
Off topic but the NeXT logo is my favourite logo of all time. If I get a GabeCube I'm 100% putting a NeXT sticker on the front

I'd call it the PlayBox, just to confuse elderly relatives who want to buy a console for their kids.
Half Life^3^ confirmed!
Companion cube skin pls
Absolutely. A Companion Cube shaped gaming PC would be perfect.
Add another year.
Can someone tell me how do I recreate the guitar tone from Hazardous Environments (the Valve theme)? I want to do a funny thing!
