by devaccess



Gabe Newell is the co-founder and CEO of Valve – the developer and publisher behind universally acclaimed titles like Half-Life, Counter-Strike, Dota 2, Team Fortress 2 and Left4Dead. But outside of being one of the greatest minds in gaming, he is also one of its greatest memes. How did this happen?
