Gabe Newell dies at the age of 52

Post by Archduke Daynel, PhD » Wed Apr 01, 2015 2:33 am

Apparently the allmighty GabeN died today, 52 years old.
reddit.com/r/pcmasterrace are grieving over this, and Steam is going to launch a 99% grievance sale on absolutely all titles in a few hours. In addition, Valve's own games will be completely free during that period.

GabeN passed away peacefully with friends and family nearby. He was allegedly sort of regretfull, claiming he had only lived half a life, and wished he had had 3 years more.

I admit my heart skipped a beat as I saw '99% sale on everything' .-.

Don't tell anybody, but to this day I have a faint hope for Futurecraft, or something similar to it, to happen. Within my lifetime.

We can only assume he went out with a bang.
