'My personal failure was being stumped': Gabe Newell says finishing Half-Life 2: Episode 3 just to conclude the story would've been 'copping out of [Valve's] obligation to gamers' (www.pcgamer.com)

I respect Valve for Steam. It's far and away the best platform.

But the bottom line is the Half-life series made Valve who they are. It made Gabe rich. Yet despite having all the money necessary to have all the resources necessary, they abandoned the series, letting millions of die hard fans down.

I've never seen a more beloved game series simply abandoned.

For that there is no forgiveness, Gabe.

Gabe was actually pretty wealthy even before he left Microsoft to form Valve.
