More quotes by Gabe Newell
We started off with a set of objectives for what we needed to communicate with the company's identity, created several proposals intended to meet those objectives, and picked the one that did the best job.
Gabe Newell
Piracy is almost always a service problem.
Gabe Newell
One of the things that's interesting is that the PC has always had a huge amount of scalability. It was sort of the wild dog that moved into Australia and killed all the local life because it could just adapt. There used to be these dedicated devices, like dedicated word processors.
Gabe Newell
The programmers of tomorrow are the wizards of the future. You're going to look like you have magic powers compared to everybody else.
Gabe Newell
I've always wanted to be a giant space crab.
Gabe Newell
I think that Windows 8 is kind of a catastrophe for everybody in the PC space.
Gabe Newell
We just always focus on quality, which can be frustrating during the wait, but which pays off when we're done (we hope).
Gabe Newell
The PS3 is a total disaster on so many levels, I think It's really clear that Sony lost track of what customers and what developers wanted.
Gabe Newell
I think Windows 8 is a catastrophe for everyone in the PC space. I think we'll lose some of the top-tier PC/OEMs, who will exit the market. I think margins will be destroyed for a bunch of people.
Gabe Newell
It used to be that you needed a $500-million-a-year company in order to reach a worldwide audience of consumers. Now, all you need is a Steam account. That changes a whole bunch of stuff. It's kind of a boring 'gee, information processing changes a stuff' story, but it's going to have an impact on every single company.
Gabe Newell
I think it's highly likely that we'll continue to have high-performance graphics capability in living rooms. I'm not sure we're all going to put down our game controllers and pick up touch screens - which is a reasonable view, I'm just not sure I buy into it.
Gabe Newell
Computing lets people express their creativity and unlock solutions, and code is computing's universal language. All young people, including girls, deserve to be fluent in the language of the future.
Gabe Newell
Most DRM solutions diminish the value of the product by either directly restricting a customer's use or by creating uncertainty.
Gabe Newell
The PC is successful because we're all benefiting from the competition with each other. If Twitter comes along, our games benefit. If Nvidia makes better graphics technology, all the games are going to shine. If we come out with a better game, people are going to buy more PCs.
Gabe Newell
If I buy a game on Steam and I'm running it on Windows, I can go to one of the Steam machines and already have the game. So you benefit as a developer you benefit as a consumer in having the PC experience extended in the living room.
Gabe Newell
Greenlight is a bad example of an election process. We came to the conclusion pretty quickly that we could just do away with Greenlight completely, because it was a bottleneck rather than a way for people to communicate choice.
Gabe Newell
The Internet is changing what entertainment and sports is. It's not just a few people authoring an experience for others. It's really growing out of what everybody does.
Gabe Newell
We came up with the name and logo pretty much the same way we do everything else.
Gabe Newell
The programmers of tomorrow are the wizards of the future.
Gabe Newell
I'd like to thank Sony for their gracious hospitality, and for not repeatedly punching me in the face. If I seem a little nervous, it's because Kevin Butler was introduced to me backstage as the VP of sharpening things.
