Holy shit. Gabe's turned into George Lucas!

I loved the way he completely sidestepped most of the questions. Especially the issue of used games - he just completely ignored it and went off on a tangent.

A lot of words but in the in very few thing actually interesting, and mostly nothing new, it really feels like a rehash of the previous Gabe's interview we had before.

Trusting people to run the show while you put out fires...how do more people at the top not get that that's what works?

I like how with the last three questions on the second page Gabe acts like he is against DRM.

"...people are doing this because they can get it for free and so we just need to create these draconian DRM systems or ani-piracy systems, and that just really doesn’t match up with the data."
"...as a customer I want to be able to access my stuff wherever I am, and if you put in place a system that makes me wonder if I’ll be able to get it then you’ve significantly decreased the value of it."
"A lot of times the systems that are put in place when you’re just trying to punish your evil customers for maybe doing something that’s not in their terms of service end up driving people towards service providers who don’t, right?"

And there is more. I find it kinda funny.

He's started messing with Half-Life 1 endlessly?

General question: Do people just hate Valve now because of the whole Steam thing?

Nah, I have no problem with Steam, and Valve has made some good games. Hopefully they will make some more.

Especially funny when you consider that their DRM is mandatory on every install and reduces the value of the product to zero if you ever want to sell it.

Rather than HL3 we're going to get a remastered edition of HL1 where Dr Breen flips the switch and pushes the trolley while Gordon looks on helplessly and screams "No, Breen! Don't do it!"

Yes, Gordon talks and is voiced by Ricky Gervais.

Yeah, I heard Gabe is going to use CGI to add some dewbacks in the background since that's the way he had always envisioned the game.
