Casual reminder that Gabe Newell owns 6 yachts worth an estimated US$1 billion and that he is not your friend.

"Bizzare"? That's pretty much what I expected of Gabe. I don't imagine he has to work particularly hard. Most CEOs try to hide how much they don't do.
This man never does interviews. Then the one interview he does in the last 30 years is trash-tier editing of a vertical video of a laptop screen in a Zoom meeting from 20 feet away, that's only uploaded as Shorts, by some guy who only has 4 total videos uploaded ever. WTF is up with that?
From what little I know about Gabe, it’s seems he doesn’t want to be the center of attention at valve. He wants Steam to the center of attention. It’s a smart play as we are seeing more and more people turning on techbros and their cult leader status’.
Ironic because Gabe appreciation is still kind of cult like.
Honestly I think the reason for the pseudo cult think is three parts he doesn't want it, he keeps his head down, and valve generally produces decent services and products. If any of those disappeared folks would probably stop it to a large degree.
I'm sure that's why he doesn't seek attention, he already has too much.
I can understand preferring scuba diving to doing interviews.
I hope that he decides to work on a neutral payment processing system. Cooperating with the EU's Linux initiatives, he can probably put quite a bit of weight onto the scale, making a digital Euro into a thing.
The EU now has a digital wallet payment system in a trail run

Would be neat if they integrate it
Clickbaity title. Daily routine stuff is kinda memeish thing to ask successful stuff, and he's trying to be honest about it. He gets to do the light touch management on a lot of fascinating stuff, so it's natural that he wants to do it daily, and he seems to be mixing it up with stuff he does for fun, so it seems like he does it throughout the week, and he seems to have a good attitude about it and looks at it realistically compared to regular work/"horrible job"s.
Note he doesn't specify times or meals; it's just a rough sketch.
Nothing bizarre about that. Scuba diving is nice for some people who are shall we say neuro spicy. Nothing I enjoy more than going to the bottom and just chilling in water.
What handheld is he playing in the top image? Looks too small to be a steam deck
I read part of this interview elsewhere and it quoted him as saying he enjoys hanging out with people on his boat. My first thought was that those people are paid to be on the boat.
so no different then normal people go to the gym on their lunch break. scuba is just a different kind of workout
I wonder, is there good equipment available to go scuba diving with a full beard?
