The other guy mentioned the mass licensing of games, but Steam ironically made getting illegitimate games easier. The bulk of developers these days just use Steam DRM, and that's been easy to defeat basically since Steam first released.

It is undeniable that Gaben is very good at foreseeing the future of gaming and using that to get in early. That being said, it’s not like he’s infallible either. Some of his successes are built on the back of failure. The most notable example of this being Steam Machine and Steam Link which failed but helped Valve gain the knowledge they needed to make the Steam Index and Steam Deck into successful hardware.

“Valve hasn’t been a game development company for a long time now”, he says as if maintaining and updating games isn’t game dev and as if they aren’t, at this very moment, making another game. Valve takes its time to cook and being a private company affords them the time to cook for as long as they want.
You missed out on some important stuff about VR. The Index is not Valve's first work on VR headsets. They actually teamed up with Oculus in early 2014, long before it was bought by Facebook/Meta. They also worked with HTC and created the HTC Vive with them, with demonstrations with prototypes going back to 2014 as well. Valve is one of the pioneers of modern VR headsets.
1:27 caught of guard, a tear of joy dropped out of my left eye... Good old days... 8:00 you got the year wrong for TF2 as it was released in fall of 2007
11:31 gabe and valve were very prominent figures at the start of modern day VR, investing in oculus before facebook purchased it and working closely with HTC for its headsets. the index was a compillation of every feature they figured out and perfected up to that point, it was definitely not made just because vr was new and full of hype but because they were one of the founding fathers of it
gabe also brought gaming to linux it initially sort of failed game companies were porting games slowely. this was in the era of the steam machines. dont get me wrong there were a lot of gaming possible at that time on linux. years went by and linux gaming were sort of in a standstill until a guy made DXVK to play Nier Automata on linux which caught gabes attention. it spawned Proton which revolutionized linux gaming and made it viable. then the result of all of this was the steam deck. in the future valve + linux i believe might mean a standalone steam VR headset where you can play full pc vr. Really great video, just wanted to add more details :D
the advances that happened due to proton also goes far beyond the proton compat layer as well. they sorted out several quirks in different areas via helping third parties. the proton compat layer really is a beautiful thing since it means pc games isnt dependent on 1 OS brand.

In ‘09 or so I found out about TF2 as a kid. I played with my brother on my mom’s toshiba laptop, and constantly bluescreened it. Idk how I was able to keep playing after all of those BSOD’s, but it must have been fate, because later I found out about Minecraft, and now I have my own pc (and I even have Linux cuz windows 11 almost bricked my damn pc), and I love video games.

10:35 The thing is, Steam doesn't usually get that money at all. They give all that 15% market fee to the publishers (the ones you see when checking a steam page for a game). Although yes, in games like CS2 or TF2 they get that 15% cut since they ARE the developers, in any other game that wasn't developed or published by them, the cut goes straight to the publishers. For indie devs and other dev studios that self-publish their own games through steam, it can help them fund more content, and since even steam cards have that cut, it's kind of a brilliant marketing strategy, because if the game gets enough funding and the dev team of that game makes more content: More content = New sales New sales = More Money for Steam and the game publishers More Money = More Funds And More funds = More content And the cycle repeats on and on. The only catch is that the game DOES need popularity and sales in order to make the cycle repeat. But that's just another way Valve makes it up for devs that use Steam.
how do you ony have 700 subs????? your editigns great dude??? AND you went through the effort of adding chapters and subtitles??? your are so underrated???
before this video i didnt know what Gabe did at Microsoft, after this video i now know just how many details can be wrong when it comes to modern technology. while the index wasnt as revolutionary(or accessible) as the HTC vive the steam deck was revolutionary for pc gaming, the steam deck is itself a Linux pc. valve also created what is essentially the almighty windows compatibility program for linux(proton). to reiderate valve created a linux gaming pc that showed linux can game while also creating a compatibility layer for windows games so that developers didnt have to support linux and players would still be able to play their games. i think thats pretty revolutionary for gaming in general oh yeah and dont forget steamVR was created as an openVR client for PCVR games(litterally the first vr client)
To understand Gabe, he's a scientist. He has made many industry innovations that we take for granted today and made a fortune out of them. To me, all of Gabe's game projects have been scientific experiments in in-game media. Mind you, he's doing that and has made billions of money. Recent games that they have made are scientific experiments. Not every project is successful but since steam is making so much money, the money isn't an issue, they are doing it for science.
correction, Half-life didnt pioneer single player with heavy emphasis on story, that title belong to metalgear solid and it was even released before half life. however half life pioneered first person survival story driven game where the player is the character
There is a conjecture that PC Games have influenced the PC market most, both when it comes to the Operation System of choice and when it comes to the insane improvement of hardware in such a very short time. So, with making SteamOS and brining it preinstalled on gaming devices, Gabe is also forcing the gaming market to port their games to linux (or at least work well with proton). Since SteamOS is free, Desktop Gaming PCs with SteamOS preinstalled will have a competitive advantage over Windows PCs. They will both be cheaper (as we're seeing with the Lenovo Legion Go 2) and possibly be faster (as we've seen with some Benchmarks with certain GPUs). At some point (I think before 2030) we'll see a bigger shift in the OS market, leading to many companies (like Adobe) releasing Linux versions of their software in order to not lose that section of the market just because their software doesn't run on linux. So, my guess for Half-Life 3 (HL Alyx 2?) is that's it's going to be a Linux exclusive. It'll run on Steam Deck, Lenovo Legion Go 2, and the release may even be coordinated with the release of SteamOS 3.0 and some manufacturers offering Desktiop PCs with SteamOS preinstalled.
I might be wrong, but BCI could be the future of VR, no controls needed, just put on a helmet of sorts and it will read the inputs right from your brain while still outputting the video/audio as usual via the headset.
He helped create windows and then saw how dominant windows was becoming, so he made native linux versions for their biggest games and actively work to make all games playable on linux in case Microsoft starts abusing their OS monopaly.
if anyones seen the movie the Founder I think it strikes some similarities to gabes strategy. He would rather own the land the burger is cooked vs making the burger for other people. A really simple concept but very hard to execute.
The biggest thing, and imho the most unique about gabeN compared to other tec-persons, is, that he doesnt seem to be a narcissistic asshole but was and still seems to be a decent human being, before and after being successful.
Well, when Gaben used Windows 8 he saw the downfall coming, so Valve started to develop SteamOS and the Steam Machines... All lead to the Steam Deck and that is leading to an overall better gamin experience on Linux (system SteamOS is based on). I'm very interested in Lenovo's next handheld console with SteamOS, the first of many.
To think, 13 years ago, and I quote from wikipedia: Valve has indicated displeasure with the approaches that both Microsoft and Apple are taking with their respective operating systems, limiting what applications could be run, and upon the release of Windows 8 in 2012, Valve's CEO Gabe Newell called it "a catastrophe for everyone in the PC space", and discussed the possibility of promoting the open-source operating system Linux that would maintain "the openness of the platform". And it's bloody working! In a couple of days it'll be a year since I switched to Linux from Windows 10, and there hasn't been a game I haven't gotten to run one way or the other, and that's the only downside: sometimes you need to approach problems differently to get something working. Mod managers for example aren't always the easiest to get working as intended.
from what I understand, Gabe's investment into neural network technology is the sort of thing that would let you use a mouse and keyboard setup by thinking you're using a mouse and keyboard without needing a mouse or even hands
If you listen to the developer commentary on the Half Life games, you'll come to understand that the Portal games were self-deprecating humor about valve's office. These people made a literal botnet supercomputer hivemind out of their entire office just to render raytraced lighting in the year 2000 so they could bake it into HL2.
The fact gabe helped make direct x and is now working against it is crazy to me
same with windows lol, he is repenting
Nah, your wrong there.
What better cause is there than to turn someone against their own cause?
Gabe will know direct x, windows and loads of other technologies inside and out and so he will undoubtedly know the best ways to compete against them.
@Dave5400 well I know that I meant that he is working against what he helped make, not that it's difficult for him, just surprising
He's not working against direct x at all. He's helping it work on other platforms right now
@@XGD5layer direct X is what is stopping his vision of everything Linux, if everyone used something else, like vulkan, we wouldn't have this problem
You know, Gabe has to be on the most comfortable seat in the world.

how do you ony have 700 subs????? your editigns great dude??? AND you went through the effort of adding chapters and subtitles??? your are so underrated???
0:05 HOLY CRAP ITS GABEN
this is so underrated wtf? i thought you were gonna have like at least a couple thousand subscribers.
Was really interested and waiting on that brain computer interface topic
Forgot that Deck is actually a product of 2 failures: Steam Machines and Controller. So if anything fails first, it would be better later.
Nice video bro! Keep it up
How tf do you still have so little subs? I’m subbing and hope you blow up in subs as you deserve it!
Shall your future be one of the greatest, keep cooking my guy
fantastic video. i can see it getting 10 Million views easily!
been thinking about gabe a lot lately... hes such a sweetheart...
I hope Gabe become more slim and healthy again like his prime form when working at Microsoft.
Thank you for sharing this, was interesting
This is really well made. Keep it up!
I pray he lives long enough so we can witness what he is cooking, truly a genius.
before this video i didnt know what Gabe did at Microsoft, after this video i now know just how many details can be wrong when it comes to modern technology.
while the index wasnt as revolutionary(or accessible) as the HTC vive the steam deck was revolutionary for pc gaming, the steam deck is itself a Linux pc. valve also created what is essentially the almighty windows compatibility program for linux(proton). to reiderate valve created a linux gaming pc that showed linux can game while also creating a compatibility layer for windows games so that developers didnt have to support linux and players would still be able to play their games. i think thats pretty revolutionary for gaming in general
oh yeah and dont forget steamVR was created as an openVR client for PCVR games(litterally the first vr client)
To understand Gabe, he's a scientist. He has made many industry innovations that we take for granted today and made a fortune out of them. To me, all of Gabe's game projects have been scientific experiments in in-game media. Mind you, he's doing that and has made billions of money. Recent games that they have made are scientific experiments. Not every project is successful but since steam is making so much money, the money isn't an issue, they are doing it for science.
correction, Half-life didnt pioneer single player with heavy emphasis on story, that title belong to metalgear solid and it was even released before half life. however half life pioneered first person survival story driven game where the player is the character
16:14 gaben is competing with aperture
Buying the rights of counter strike and dota is the best deals that Valve ever made
great video, keep going man
Only 845 subscribers is absolutely criminal for these kinds of channels.
hes a living legend
Gabe needs to find a successor who loves games and has investors as the afterthought
I can see future in FDVR if gabe is involved
There is a conjecture that PC Games have influenced the PC market most, both when it comes to the Operation System of choice and when it comes to the insane improvement of hardware in such a very short time.
So, with making SteamOS and brining it preinstalled on gaming devices, Gabe is also forcing the gaming market to port their games to linux (or at least work well with proton). Since SteamOS is free, Desktop Gaming PCs with SteamOS preinstalled will have a competitive advantage over Windows PCs. They will both be cheaper (as we're seeing with the Lenovo Legion Go 2) and possibly be faster (as we've seen with some Benchmarks with certain GPUs). At some point (I think before 2030) we'll see a bigger shift in the OS market, leading to many companies (like Adobe) releasing Linux versions of their software in order to not lose that section of the market just because their software doesn't run on linux.
So, my guess for Half-Life 3 (HL Alyx 2?) is that's it's going to be a Linux exclusive. It'll run on Steam Deck, Lenovo Legion Go 2, and the release may even be coordinated with the release of SteamOS 3.0 and some manufacturers offering Desktiop PCs with SteamOS preinstalled.
12:19 you can play HL Alyx on any SteamVR compatible headset, e.g. a quest 2 using a "link" cable with a pc
I might be wrong, but BCI could be the future of VR, no controls needed, just put on a helmet of sorts and it will read the inputs right from your brain while still outputting the video/audio as usual via the headset.
very high quality videos for such low subscribers, get this man to 100k! atleast!!
Great video! You deserve more subscribers
Amazing video!! Very well made 🤯
This is a very good video keep it up man
He helped create windows and then saw how dominant windows was becoming, so he made native linux versions for their biggest games and actively work to make all games playable on linux in case Microsoft starts abusing their OS monopaly.
Yes GabeN made Half Life all by himself. Back in those days he had to use flint and steel and make holes in punch cards.
if anyones seen the movie the Founder I think it strikes some similarities to gabes strategy. He would rather own the land the burger is cooked vs making the burger for other people. A really simple concept but very hard to execute.
The biggest thing, and imho the most unique about gabeN compared to other tec-persons, is, that he doesnt seem to be a narcissistic asshole but was and still seems to be a decent human being, before and after being successful.
Well, when Gaben used Windows 8 he saw the downfall coming, so Valve started to develop SteamOS and the Steam Machines... All lead to the Steam Deck and that is leading to an overall better gamin experience on Linux (system SteamOS is based on).
I'm very interested in Lenovo's next handheld console with SteamOS, the first of many.
To think, 13 years ago, and I quote from wikipedia:
Valve has indicated displeasure with the approaches that both Microsoft and Apple are taking with their respective operating systems, limiting what applications could be run, and upon the release of Windows 8 in 2012, Valve's CEO Gabe Newell called it "a catastrophe for everyone in the PC space", and discussed the possibility of promoting the open-source operating system Linux that would maintain "the openness of the platform".
And it's bloody working! In a couple of days it'll be a year since I switched to Linux from Windows 10, and there hasn't been a game I haven't gotten to run one way or the other, and that's the only downside: sometimes you need to approach problems differently to get something working. Mod managers for example aren't always the easiest to get working as intended.
Great video quality, definitely sub
the editing on this goes hard
Awesome video poland brother :D
Gabe Newell be like
"Im limited by the technology of my time"
alas, a new independent channel rises, and shines, as people enjoy it's content
rise and shine, new channel.
*Rise and Shine*
The fact gabe spends his current free time fantasising about sword art online. wild...
Don’t forget about steam is potentially becoming a desktop image to replace windows.
Cant wait to get ads beamed directly into my brain
from what I understand, Gabe's investment into neural network technology is the sort of thing that would let you use a mouse and keyboard setup by thinking you're using a mouse and keyboard without needing a mouse or even hands
If you listen to the developer commentary on the Half Life games, you'll come to understand that the Portal games were self-deprecating humor about valve's office.
These people made a literal botnet supercomputer hivemind out of their entire office just to render raytraced lighting in the year 2000 so they could bake it into HL2.
I like the quality of the video
