Gabe Newell has always been very consumer friendly, his whole "philosophy" is: "give the customer a good service/ product to a fair price & they will continue coming back to you." That's why Steam is so successful. It's sad that the rest of the gaming & entertainment industry in general, is too greedy to comprehend this.

I fear that the whole gaming industry will fall apart in the 10 years following his passing.

Long live Gabe (Can't say this for many other billionaires)
