    From what little I know about Gabe, it’s seems he doesn’t want to be the center of attention at valve. He wants Steam to the center of attention. It’s a smart play as we are seeing more and more people turning on techbros and their cult leader status’.

      Yeah, I’m busy with developing a game. I don’t want to be popular or the centre of attention should my game be succesful. I just a lot of people to play and enjoy my game. I can totally get that.

        Honestly, I don’t game much but there a few upcoming games I’m really excited about and only one of them will actually cost money. I’m waiting for Megaman X Corrupted and Billie Bust Up. Both indie, both better. There isn’t really anything worth getting from big companies anymore.

        Honestly I think the reason for the pseudo cult think is three parts he doesn’t want it, he keeps his head down, and valve generally produces decent services and products. If any of those disappeared folks would probably stop it to a large degree.

        I think that in itself is meant to be ironic too.

        Also, people appreciate his lack of attention seeking and flashiness.

          Nah, I have had nothing but fantastic experiences with steam. Their support is knowledgeable, responsive, and has the power to actually help you. The index controllers are notorious for developing drift on the sticks and they RMAd mine several times no problem. The last one was a year out of warranty and they said that’s all I get lol, but that’s way more than they technically had to do.

          Compare that to meta support where I had to talk to 4 different help desk lackeys who told me my quest was definitely on the way in another package (even after I showed them incontrovertible proof there weren’t multiple packages under the same number and I received all the packages) before they finally escalated me to the “specialist” team, who took a FULL DAY PER RESPONSE. Fuck meta, fuck zucc, hail gaben.
