Everybody understands that you're supposed to say 'our employees are our most valuable asset' to the point where, even if it's really true, they're not going to really trust you until you've earned that - same with customers.

More quotes by 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
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
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
Valve wouldn’t have gotten its start
Gabe Newell
I've always wanted to be a giant space crab.
Gabe Newell
The programmers of tomorrow are the wizards of the future.
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
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
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
About half the people at Valve have run their own companies, so they always have the option not just to take a job at another game company, but to go start their own company. The question you always have to answer is, 'How are we making these people more valuable than they would be elsewhere?'
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
I think that Windows 8 is kind of a catastrophe for everybody in the PC space.
Gabe Newell
I'm a handsome man with a charming personality.
Gabe Newell
George Lucas should have distributed the 'source code' to Star Wars. Millions of fans would create their own movies and stories. Most of them would be terrible, but a few would be genius.
Gabe Newell
Don't ever, ever try to lie to the internet.
Gabe Newell
Piracy is almost always a service problem.
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
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
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.
