Gabe! You signed a Half Life 2 poster for me years ago. It’s one of the most special things any one and any company has ever done… I had written you a letter of thanks for Steam, I was a Sophomore college student, it was awesome. This is awesome too. Thanks for being awesome and good as a company.

But he just seems like such a genuine dude I'd love to meet him one day and chat with him. I bet he's an awesome dad. Just a good hearted nerd
Gabe is one of the last surviving genuine OGs of the video game industry, he himself is an actual gamer at heart and knows his audience. We need more people like Gabe in the video game industry
given how valve is structured, gaben doesnt really tell people 'do this and do that', he's not really a 'boss'. it makes sense for him to say that he just works there because saying hes CEO doesnt line up with his philosophy on how he runs valve
Imagine just opening the door and the CEO of Valve is just standing there holding your Steam Deck and says: "Hi, i am Gabe Newell! And this is your steam deck. Bye!"
well that's always been Valves entire attitude at their company. Gabe himself said that he considers every employee on the same level as him, and everyone is welcome to have input on any project, no matter who they are. honestly a brilliant way to run a company.
@@S7ARBOY I just wished it WORKED like that (coughing *FURIOUSLY* at the “senior” employees who gaslight the non senior employees into working on what the “senior” employees want instead of what the regular employees want [aka what the fans want] via the threat of them losing their job at valve)
3:12 The three people there didnt order a Steam Deck. According to an article, they recognized Gabe delivering a Deck to their neighbor and yelled "Hi Gabe!" at which point Gabe asked how many people were in the house and gave them all a free Deck! Gabe is the chilliest CEO XD
1:50 i can imagine the guy arriving home and the girl telling him "hey some old guy gave you this box" and then he immediately regrets doing whatever he was doing
this guy is an actual fucking legend, the CEO of the company hand delivering their new product and telling them to email him and give him feedback. phenomenal.

_”Hi, I’m Gabe Newell, I’m just wondering around your neighbourhood.”_ A surprise to see Gabe doing this but that just makes this 10 times more awesome lmao
For all the pitfalls Valve suffers with, Gaben still remains the greatest CEO in the industry. I emailed him a while ago when I ordered the Index and it arrived with a broken tether, he got back to me and asked for my shipping info so they could send another free of charge. Absolute G.
This man, for being such a revolutionary person, seems so human. It's like he doesn't know the change he's made for the entire world, it's like he's just a random indie developer with a small community, he's so with his community its so wholesome I love Valve.
I think he is just aware that it could be anyone who had the right vision and the right team, like the one Theroie that if you let an ape write infinite at one point its possible we will write down how the univerese was created, just by smashing the buttons randomly. (cheaply explained, hope you understand) and just wants to do stuff he likes, a truly good guy
I love that GabeN just says "I work at Valve." Instead of something like: "I am the CEO of Valve" or "I own Valve". Super humble of him. Also super cool that he went and delivered some Decks himself. What a total boss!
@@jacksea3814 it isn't just for PR. that's always been Valves ideal for as long as I can remember. he doesn't consider himself as the CEO. he considers all his employees on the same level as him. anyone with any job at Valve can give ideas or opinions on any project.
Everytime Gaben says Deck, I can't help but imagine that he's just giving people his old bulk rare yugioh cards that are in rows of 40-60 card decks from back in the day.
Gabe has to be one of the most humble and down to earth humans. He could say “I own Valve” but instead goes “I work at Valve” as his employees were just as important as him.
@@o0nickI don’t know, he’s pretty consistently like this, like he’s been for *years* I don’t think it’s a facade, everybody has some form of a mask, but I don’t think his personality on camera is too much of a farce
To be honest I am not sure what I would say in this situation. But i love how Gabe uses this opportunity to get closer to the customers. And here I honestly believe, that he is actually happy to hear feedback from those people about the product.
It’s funny that some people are just non-plussed. “What’s with the camera crew?” I love how Gabe is truly excited about the launch and interested in what consumers think when they play it.
Nonplussed means, surprized and bewildered. For some reason some Americans use it when they mean unperturbed or indifferent. Don't know why it bothers me so much, same when people say " I could care less" when they mean " I couldn't care less" or "I ain't done nothing" when they mean "I ain't done anything" ... I'll go back to my cave now..
“Honey someone just delivered you a box, didn’t look like a postman.” “Oh really? Who was it?” “I didn’t catch his name.” “Oh well probably no-one important then.”
@@aidenral4532 RUclips loves ghosting comments with links. I doubt you'll get to see a response. (If anyone tries to respond with a link, see if you can find your comment on a private tab. If you can't it was probably ghosted, so only your own account can see it.)
i gotta love how some people dont even realize who is when he delivers it. They just kindly accept the deck and think nothing of the bearded man in front of them
Yeah if he would had mentioned that he actually owns valve and was worth millions/billions of dollars, suddenly the women customers that bought the deck and barely even knew who he was would be like "oooh you work at valve and make a lot of money 😍😍😍 sugar zaddy yaaas"
Imagine chilling at home waiting for your delivery, you get a knock at the door and go answer it only to open the door to the Ceo of perhaps the most influential game company on earth. You played his company’s games since you were young and he’s just right there, on your doorstep.
Im pretty sure valve want to keep it this way for the video, i mean like, who else greet their visitors at the door with mask on. Still wholesome thing.
You can tell he's really proud of the product they've made going as far as hand delivering some around the Valve HQ area, really looking forward to getting mine love from Canada
Yes, it definitely is, but when you know Gabe and know what he does and did and actually responds personally sometimes when you ask him something is actually pretty fucking nice
@@axiesem exactly my point. Unless Microsoft he stays on the bottom of things. I like that attitude. Just because you're somewhat special doesn't mean you're better than you and me. You're still a human being and sort of equal to everyone else. 🤝❤️
I sent an email to gabe in 2003 before the release of half life 2 saying "I like Gerbils". He responded within 30 minutes and said, "That's nice". GabeN @ Valvesoftware ... Good times.
I remember Gabe personally emailing me back when HL2 came out after I sent Steam an email because I was having trouble with my account trying to get the game installed. He apologized about the issues and said they would get better (they absolutely did, when I did an account recovery several years later it took only a couple minutes), and hoped I enjoyed the game. After playing it I responded with my thoughts (obviously great, HL2 was epic) and he thanked me for my feedback. Gabe is awesome.
Gabe: "hopefully people wont get mad that im signing them" Me: going the extra mile and breaking into one of these guys houses just to get a signed copy of a steam deck.
Gabe had such a major role in computer software development he's literally an unsung hero. He and others working at Microsoft gave us windows and then in 2003 this legend went ahead and created the future of video games aka Steam. This man's ideas and hard work advanced our gaming culture so far and I cannot begin to express how thankful I am to him and his team. Even as he got insanely rich and accomplished he still does not stop advancing the gaming culture. This man will go down in history.
I emailed him on HL2's release night to congratulate him and his team and he said thanks. Can't believe he still responds to emails like that to this day.
and then do a backflip, showcase my radical martial arts moves and finish it all off with a stylish tip of my fedora, before taking the steam deck and moonwalking back inside.
@@gonlondy5446 Sean Murray did actually, death threats and all, managing to reinvent his team's game by parsing through any useful feedback while simultaneously shielding his team's mental health from the absolute toxicity that was directed towards them. There was an interesting documentary that went more in-depth with it, but the point is that Gabe isn't the only one, he's just the only one that managed to build a money-machine out of it.
Dude I would literally start crying if I got to meet him, the man responsible for most of my hours spent on games, and to think back to when I was so happy playing them, ahhh the memories!!!
@@n00b_ninja Nah I usually grinded Csgo and Dota, but not playing games anymore is also fun, its just thinking back to those days also makes me kinda sad😅😅, but thank you enjoy your day aswell man!
Gabe does so much to advance the gaming industry, and it makes me happy to see him so overjoyed to deliver the steam decks that Valve has been hard at work on.
Gabe is always such a sweet guy, and even with this being a publicity stunt, the sheer joy he seems to have makes this video just so heartwarming and I just adore how humble the man is. Glad to see that even if we'll never get any titles with 3 in the name, the man cares so much about his company and creations.
Imagine opening your house's door expecting some sort of normal delievery or a friend and then you literally see Gabe Newell, the man, the legend himself
I used to work as a housekeeper a few years ago I was sent to clean a room, Jack Black opened the door. I literally forgot how to speak english so I do know that feeling lol.

@@cheesewarrior17 What on Earth are you talking about? Did you even watch the video? Literally the start of the video they explained the setup, they were told the Deck would be delivered to them and needed to be signed for so someone had to be home. As it turns out, the signing part was a ruse to ensure someone saw him in person. Also, either way, do you really not wear clothes at home? (Edit:) simple, you put a mask on to answer the door and make sure you are properly dressed either way, what socially depraved person are you that you wouldn't do that? You also can't tell if they're showered at all, you are just talking nonsense.

@@alexismarie2652 So I assume you're totally ready and prepped for if/when a celebrity comes to your house with a camera crew? Jesus, mate, give them a break.

@@Heidegaff I am, sadly, a tf2 player, I just know Valve has more important things to focus on and considering how their weird "anyone can work on anything they want" system works it just seems nobody there *wants* to work on TF2.
Seems like Valve just wants to focus on new things, and especially when the Steam Deck has been a decade long project for them, some of their games will get left behind.

For all the pitfalls Valve suffers with, Gaben still remains the greatest CEO in the industry. I emailed him a while ago when I ordered the Index and it arrived with a broken tether, he got back to me and asked for my shipping info so they could send another free of charge. Absolute G.
Just hoping they make the the next model a bit sturdier ;)

@@nemernemer Ohhhh okay thanks for the information.
This man, for being such a revolutionary person, seems so human. It's like he doesn't know the change he's made for the entire world, it's like he's just a random indie developer with a small community, he's so with his community its so wholesome I love Valve.
I think he is just aware that it could be anyone who had the right vision and the right team, like the one Theroie that if you let an ape write infinite at one point its possible we will write down how the univerese was created, just by smashing the buttons randomly. (cheaply explained, hope you understand) and just wants to do stuff he likes, a truly good guy
I love that GabeN just says "I work at Valve." Instead of something like: "I am the CEO of Valve" or "I own Valve". Super humble of him. Also super cool that he went and delivered some Decks himself. What a total boss!
Even if it's just for PR, the fact that he'd say it for PR is still better than many.
@@jacksea3814 it isn't just for PR. that's always been Valves ideal for as long as I can remember. he doesn't consider himself as the CEO. he considers all his employees on the same level as him. anyone with any job at Valve can give ideas or opinions on any project.
It's equally humble and tongue-and-cheek funny.
Just like, "You probably already know who I am, but I never want to make about me."
@@S7ARBOY I remembered it is like "flat" management that mentioned in Wiki. Awesome company.
Yep, if something stuck with me from my Valve gaming days is that their organization is fully horizontal. Love Gabe
Everytime Gaben says Deck, I can't help but imagine that he's just giving people his old bulk rare yugioh cards that are in rows of 40-60 card decks from back in the day.

Gabe has to be one of the most humble and down to earth humans. He could say “I own Valve” but instead goes “I work at Valve” as his employees were just as important as him.
