It involves golden tickets and the unsolved disappearances of a handful of children.
Brutal, I know, but it's the only way.
I selfishly wish he had a son or daughter to carry on his legacy lol
More generations deserve to know how good Valve is.
Son/daughter would be like "ugh, this is lame, I want to play real-world games with peoples' lives. ..like, corporate wars, or screw-the-smallguy."
Kids never handle the inheritance right, and passing on the experiences they need in order to do so is hard as fuck.
He has 2 kids lol. The eldest - Gray Newell, seems to be more into racing than game dev, though.

🎵 One clicked on files they shouldn't dare Now lost in code, they've disappeared in air Gaben warned, but they didn't heed Now in the depths of Steam, they'll forever plead
🎵 Oompa loompa doompety dah If you're not careful, you'll go too far Respect the rules when visiting Gaben's lair Or vanish forever, lost in Valve's software!
