This article is pure clickbait. But eventually Gabe is going to die. And when that day happens we are going to see Valve either transform into a foundation, or become everything that it had resisted through its entire life. Gabe is a stand-up guy. No question.

His successors, are not going to be Gabe. They're going to chipaway at his philosophy. It's only a matter of time

Just like when Christopher Tolkien died. No one else was left to be passionate about his father's vision and desires.

I have to wonder if he's even still doing anything at Valve anymore since moving to New Zealand?

A CEO that does not do anything provides stability to the company. (/s)

When management manages (making changes) you can often wonder: Wouldn't it be better if they did nothing instead?

This is my real fear as well. I love Gabe but what happens afterwards… I would work for him in a second and I’m just hoping he finds enough people who have the same philosophy to continue his work.
