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.

More quotes by Gabe Newell
Valve wouldn’t have gotten its start
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
The culture at Valve is pretty much crowdsourced. The handbook is a wiki. One of the first things we say to new hires is, 'You have to change something in the handbook.'
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
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.
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
Piracy is almost always a service problem.
Gabe Newell
The programmers of tomorrow are the wizards of the future.
Gabe Newell
If you look at the requirements for just one piece, like art, from one generation of games to the next, it will change radically. You need people who are adaptable because the thing that makes you the best in the world in one generation of games is going to be totally useless in the next.
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.
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
We came up with the name and logo pretty much the same way we do everything else.
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.
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
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 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
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
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.
