man I really got a new perspective on Gabe. Blatantly deceiving the German guy to cause tremendous harm to his life by colluding with the Gestapo even when Half Life 2 was a tremendous success and none of his precious monies were lost in the process, in fact the leak only raised the profile for Half Life 2 resulting in more sales.
I definitely won't be buying Half Life 3.
TIL Gabe Newell is actually very narrow minded and not a nice guy. Hacking and leaking is also bad but it's not clear that the action led to losses when Half Life 2 was a phenomenal success. It's the deceptive tactic of pretending to offer an olive branch and going back on your word. He should be fucking ashamed of himself.
- djrogers 10y agoSay someone broke in to your house, rifled through your stuff, and put pictures of your personal things on instagram. Would you not want to press charges?
- brilliantcode 10y agoI'm sure you can see the night and day differences. Gabe just got free PR exposure. He should've kept his fucking word and gave the guy a job but instead he got soft. Tony Montana said it the best: all you really have at the end of your life is your word and your balls and how well you kept them.
