"VALVe is not your friend..." Good article on Polygon

Valve is not your friend, and Steam is not healthy for gaming - The illusion behind the “Good Guy Valve” reputation.

If you were to ask the average PC gamer, they’d swear up and down that there’s no way they’d ever give their money to such a corporation [such as Google]. They’d not only be caught dead before helping a company like that come to power, they might even join the resistance to stop them. 

And yet, that sort of operation is exactly what the PC gaming community has been supporting, promoting and defending since 2004 when Valve more or less forced us to install Steam by bundling it with Half-Life 2.

 Basically gamers are dumb.  Who'd have thought?!?

Halife 3 won't come out because "gamers are idiots"

Basically what they're saying is Halflife 3 won't come out because Gamers are assholes who will rape, riot and kill if it turns out to be another Duke Nukem Forever.

Silvermania's Exclusive Interview with Gabe Newell

I'll just leave this here...

Gamers are Fat

Gabe opens his mouth and shit comes out.

Valve Boss Gabe Newell Says "Windows 8 is a Catastrophe"

You know what else is a catastrophe? Your fucking cholesterol.  How about lose some weight, you sweaty meat bag.

Gabe Newell flipflops

...and no, I'm not talking about his massive breasts whenever he jumps up and down.

Gabe Newell had previously stated that the PS3 was a waste of everyone's time.  Now he's doing a 180 and saying the exact opposite.  I seriously can't stand this guy.  Funny how all his fanboys are also jumping on the PS3 bandwagon by praising how great it is.

'Left4Dead2 Boycott' leaders meet Gabe Newell

Pretty much sums up Gabe Newell in a nutshell:

That said, I am just playing devil's advocate here. I could care less about someone who cares less about themselves. He is not only fat, but doesn't seem to care about most other aspects of hygiene. Most every picture of him is usually him covered in freaking stains and other such markings (the full pic at his article, seen on Kotaku, shows some kind of stain on his shirt - either that or a huge sweat stain coming from his belly. He is gross. As someone said, I am no spring chicken either, but at least I try not to be repulsive (clean clothes and a freaking shower at least, COME ON!) when I go out in public or go to work. Imagine how his co-workers must feel?

Ignatius J. Reilly is alive and has a blog!

Is that Gabe Newell guy a fat fuck or what? I can't believe he finds time between stuffing his chubby face with KFC and swallowing the pieces of chicken whole -- without chewing, just like a snake -- to shoot his smacking mouth off about how the PS3 is a disaster. You know what is a disaster? The fat fucks cholesterol levels. How about he takes some time off from enhancing his whale like physique and howling about the PS3 like a sea lion in heat, as pieces of chicken fly into the collective faces of the internet and instead squeeze out more that 1 game every decade, huh how about that? Then at least what he says would have a semblance of relevance instead of being the annoying ramblings of the man-child leader of a game company with almost no games released in 15 years for a now defunct platform.

If Ignatius J. Reilly were alive today and was writing angry posts about videogames on the internet, then I think I just found him (and I mean that in a positive way, honest!).  Read this blog and this blog, too.  It's a blog about how much the industry has changed for the worst, the death of PC gaming, the golden years of what gaming used to be, and why Gabe Newell is an asshole.  It's very well written and articulated and I couldn't put my thoughts into into words better than this man.
