Episode 136: Gabe Newell (Premium)

Listen to the full episode on Patreon

On this beautiful winter episode we cover Joe Biden donor and former video game developer Gabe Newell. We discuss how amazeballs it is to work for Valve, either as a paid employee or as an uncompensated contributor desperate to get their foot in the door. We also talk about all the friggin awesome hacks Valve pulled off when it came to EU and Australian consumer rights laws. Overall, pretty dang epic ep.

(Unfortunately we forgot to mention the time Valve allowed a game that hijacked peoples' computers to mine cryptocurrency onto the Steam store, but they did that too)
