Yep. Definitely. The real gamers are just completely speechless when Gabe shows up... Until he starts talking games, then they immediately open up to him.
You can be a real gamer and not know who he is. A gamer is somebody who enjoys games, not somebody who worships the president of Valve. I didn't know who he was until I saw this video and I have a high end gaming rig.
A foundation most business execs and higher ups tend to strip away or not follow. Sad really. I fear for the day gaben passes or retires. Hopefully valve doesmt become what microsoft did after bill gate's monopoly got broken up and what happened to Bill Gates afterwards.
Gabe is so freaking cool. My friend and I were joking around saying it would be awesome if Gabe hand delivered our Steam Decks. Little did we know he actually did deliver them to some lucky gamers!! Wow, we would have absolutely lost our minds if we saw Gabe.
What a guy! You personally go and give these new fantastic game consoles out to regular random people. You have a good heart! Hope this Steam Deck goes very well for you and your company. Well done Gabe.
haha i agree, but i remember reading and hearing that many famous people don't like their fans to freak out, so maybe some of these held back out of respect.
Reminds me of that Wii commercial where Nintendo executives handed the Wii to a random house The only thing remaining here was Gabe asking to play the steam deck with the people he delivered it to
I would’ve been so mad at my wife to get home and realize Gabe Newell delivered it to my house and I wasn’t there and secondly mad that my wife didn’t know who he was
I think if the saint, the one and only Gabe fucking Newell handed me my a steam deck, I would just cease to exist in that moment. I would hear the windows log-off off noise and die. Most of these people don't know what a fucking legend they just got to be in the presence of. I don't care if people say that valve has forgotten its ways, Gabe is still the man and the legend he always was.
Gabe if you're reading this , thanks for showing us the invention of Steam Deck , really inspires me alot to make crazy things about video games. Thanks Gabe , for the entertainment and inspiration you've brought to us from your whole career ! And thanks for the seasonal sales you always do , i've really love the Grand Theft Auto : San Andreas , that game thought me how to practice my accent to learning different languages (atleast in americas) ! 🇺🇲💪
This is actually quite wholesome. I mean one of the biggest names in gaming and the big boss of Steam himself is giving out the Steam Deck! That's pretty cool! If I was one of those who receive this Steam Deck I would have my mind blown! lol
when i first saw this i smiled so big, i still am after this whole time, i finally secured a steam deck for myself, although its a little unfortunate that it could not be delivered by lord Gabe Newell himself. i would have loved that. what a cool dude ceo, its a nice touch to deliver your own products to customers, talk about going the extra mile i cant wait to try it out and compare to the steam controller i've got.
Not my first watch, but had to watch again as it was just there in my recommended. You can't not love Gabe. He's like tech Santa Claus. He's so humble, down to earth, and friendly. He's also arguably the most important man in gaming. This guy and his company are all fighting the good fight to make Linux gaming possible and fight against the Microsoft monopoly. They did the same with Oculus too which I'm also grateful for, or we'd be stuck with Meta/Facebook headsets.
As a hardcore console gamer, I didn't even know the pre-orders for the Steam Deck happened. I desperately want to play all the amazing exclusives on Steam, bit I'm also a big time proponent of physical media and owning my games in hand. I don't even have a desktop set up at the house I'm at. Basically, did I make a huge mistake by not pre-ordering one of the Decks? I do have a Switch, but I really only play it docked, so handhelds aren't my most favorite way to play. But if it gives easy access to the vast Steam exclusives, has a great d-pad, and maybe eventually has a video output option, would you say I should try to get one when the next round of orders go up? (I heavily play sidescrolling platformers, but love 3D platformers, Action/Adventure, Action w/RPG elements, 2D shooters and FPS games, and some RPGs as well)
This video it's kinda old now but the reactions, duuude, I am pretty sure that even at my age I genuinely will be more excited than these people, trying to give him a hug or at least a hand shake in a respectful way ofc, bcs at the end of the day is our great lord and savior Gabe Newell! Who wouldn't wanted to see him in person? The lady that didn't even know who he was, that gave me pain in my chest
This is literally the equivalent of if Santa came to your doorstep and gave you your presents.
You so right he’s been him the whole time
And they say santa isn't real
With abunch of camera's
That is so cool
Equivalent*
You honestly can't hate the man...Hope he lives many many more healthy years
@Right-Wing Persian⚡️⚡️ He's an older guy. So we are hoping that he's healthy and can continue to do what he does best well into his older age.
Gabe is only 59 years old despite his appearance.
@@tongliu8563 59 is old
if the mf can unban me
@@horacthy8577 Only if you are barely alive.
I love that some people had no idea who he was and he didnt bother to say who he is
Just a humble developer
What do you expect him to tell lol? That he's one ruining valve?
@@calenbolo lmao yes. Anyways Im going to buy more cs go cases at a constant loss while being 7 years old
@@vijayvishwa6512 I hope you mean running.
@@vijayvishwa6512 ruining valve? one of the best game companies ever? lets talk about ea if you want to say ruining
You can tell who the real gamers are by their reactions of seeing Gabe at their door.
Yup the first guy definitely isn’t
@@treykd3288 what about the girl that thought he was a real delivery guy ? x)
It's like getting a visit from an angel of God lmao

He really went to a gamers house expecting more of a reaction knowing damn well they’re all introverts 😂
not every gamer is anxious introvert. i would jump into his arms right there and invite him in for launch or coffee.
Plot twist, Gaben is introvert too which makes things awkward.
@@chuckycheeser no? Its not
@@iamnotyourmateyes it is
How is hugging litteral Santa weird
The Gandalf of gaming. May he live many more years and keep up the work!
A living legend. The foundations this man has put down for modern gaming are truly incredible.
A foundation most business execs and higher ups tend to strip away or not follow.
Sad really. I fear for the day gaben passes or retires. Hopefully valve doesmt become what microsoft did after bill gate's monopoly got broken up and what happened to Bill Gates afterwards.
If Gaben hand delivered a Steam Deck to me I’d be way more excited than these people!
Right? They are so rude too. I would have invited him in for a tea/coffee or something. Shame on these ungrateful morons.
@@sterus2283 These buffoons didn't realize that they were in the presence of greatness
they were shocked that they saw him
Your brain would probably block a bit with how surreal the situation is and with all the cameras.
i’d just run up to him and give him a huge hug tbh
I would've been extatic seeing our lord and saviour Gaben on my doorstep. I know it's a marketing stunt, but he is awesome.
I don't know, he isn't telling a guy about his white mage as a marketing technique. Gabe is just built different
You can tell the first guy he delivered to wanted to hug Gabe haha :)
So cool he genuinely wants to know all feedback on the product, good or bad. As well as the self aware humbleness.
Yup
Because valve takes the bad with the good. Its how they made the best game sequels and keep steam as top dog.
Gabe is so freaking cool. My friend and I were joking around saying it would be awesome if Gabe hand delivered our Steam Decks. Little did we know he actually did deliver them to some lucky gamers!! Wow, we would have absolutely lost our minds if we saw Gabe.

They're not random they bought the console
@@santiagolozoya3439”Uhm actually” -☝️🤓
Gabe I need you to know. That if you delivered it to any of us in the comments we genuinely would’ve shown more excitement. Absolute legend
haha i agree, but i remember reading and hearing that many famous people don't like their fans to freak out, so maybe some of these held back out of respect.
Not me buddy…would not have acted any different.
2:25 Gabe is just sharing his past experience but her reaction XD
U can`t hate a boss that Reads all his customers emails just to keep himself grounded, damn Respect Gabe thats how a business is runned!!!
I want my Steam Deck, especially from those who didn't recognize Gabe. 🤣🤩
Reminds me of that Wii commercial where Nintendo executives handed the Wii to a random house
The only thing remaining here was Gabe asking to play the steam deck with the people he delivered it to
The “Wii would like to play” ones?
God damn I love Gabe Newell so much
Woah Kaci really stepping up at Valve, great to see her around!
This is wholesome af, thanks for literally being Santa clause for gamers.
Gets gabe at my door
Gabe i ordered the expensive version
No tip foy you sorry
im pretty sure people wouldn't mind Gaben signing there steam deck.
If i got a signed steam deck from Gaben, I would get another one. That shit is going in a glass cage in my room
ty Gabe, mine has been purchased, its not here yet, but you made a childhood dream come true with this
I think Valve is the only game company that I not despice because of not doing anti-customer stuff. This company and this guy is such a legend
They are consistently tested and honestly pass for hkw they handle it well or okayish/still better than kther companies would have
this is like god handing you the ten commandments
LMAOOOO
@@ItsTheDelta AHA.
💀
Just gave his email like that, shows how humble he really is.
" I hope people won't be mad that I'm singing them..." Now that is humility ! Old school gamer style !
I love how excited the first dude was.
I can't believe none of them asked for a hug
hes the modern day santa for gamers
Gaben is literally the Santa Clause of gaming.
God bless, Gabe Newell without Steam/Valve no one would be playing PC like me and millions-billions of people do. He's the GOAT for doing this!
What an awesome guy.
I would’ve been so mad at my wife to get home and realize Gabe Newell delivered it to my house and I wasn’t there and secondly mad that my wife didn’t know who he was

If Gabe was standing in front of my door... i would fall on my knees and start to cry. The Lord himself! D:
It's Mr valve
John Valve

The guy on 1:56 will forever regret skiing that day.
even one year later, it's so wholesome to see gaben claus delievered the deck to those people.
This is actually quite wholesome. I mean one of the biggest names in gaming and the big boss of Steam himself is giving out the Steam Deck! That's pretty cool! If I was one of those who receive this Steam Deck I would have my mind blown! lol
Nobody going to invite him in!?!?!??!?!
Oh my god.
I'd make him a drink and something to eat.
If I ever met Gabe, I would thank him for making Portal 2
And then ask for Portal 3
when i first saw this i smiled so big, i still am after this whole time, i finally secured a steam deck for myself, although its a little unfortunate that it could not be delivered by lord Gabe Newell himself.
i would have loved that.
what a cool dude ceo, its a nice touch to deliver your own products to customers, talk about going the extra mile
i cant wait to try it out and compare to the steam controller i've got.
Thats so awesome! Seriously! Cant wait for mine lol
Gabe's spirit animal is an Old Smiling Golden Retriever.
Bro, i would have cried if i were to meet Gaben. He's literally a god figure to me.
these kids reaction to seeing a literal god is quite underwhelming.
Cmon dude. Most gamers is socially awkward in real life.
Because they know beforehand, who the hell wears a mask around the house
Respect for Gabe, and respect to him for keeping his company private…
Not my first watch, but had to watch again as it was just there in my recommended.

Poor Gabe
I would imagine that 70% of the emails involve half life 3
Imagine opening your door, seeing a bunch of recording equipment, and the owner of valve himself going "Hi, I'm Gabe"

the way he said he read thousands of email. dude literally a santa irl 🤣
i would be floored if i had Gabe Newell hand delivering my Deck to me
I would faint if i saw GabeN at my doorstep delivering my steamdeck 😅❤🎉
I wish it happened to me the 3rd time my valve Index came back from repair when it was brand new...
It's surprising he was able to give out more than 2 given Valve's history with single digit numbers
Man.. these people had no idea their talking to a legend
Dude knew what was happening if he answered the door in a mask.
Hope he does the same when the Deckard releases.
Gabe, keep doing that!!:D I hope to see you as Santa Claus this year
I love this man
if GabeN signed my Deck I would be so mad.
now, I have to buy the second Steam Deck and put the first one into glass display.
living legend !
Bro is a legend 💪
Thank fuck Gabe Newell exists. May you live long buddy.
he moaned when gabe gave him the deck.
Tou can tell the first the first.guy was excited. I bet he had a good talk abd mentioning Half Life 3.
Gaben is just your average guy that just so happens to be one of the best CEO's on this planet.
Love Gabe!
wow amazing some of them got on there knees
How are people not freaking out while our lord and savior is hand delivering these. Do they not know who this man is!!!
I'd be so damn excited I'd be asking for a photo together. These guys are like a wet blanket.
Gotta love Gabe
Hmm, okay. Using context clues, guessing this is the guy behind my steamdeck. Alright, yeah, I can respect it. Thanks bro. The steam deck rocks!
I think Gabe Newell walked up to my door to drop one off, then saw I was queuing CS:GO through the window so he turned around and left
Real?
Awesome
I would've knelt in the presence of a legend
Such a sweet dude.. Who wouldn't want to talk games with Gabe!
The HalfLife series will forever be my first love of gams
Hey even though hl3 still hasn’t happened, you can’t help but love gabe. He’s like santa and a teddy bear fused into one being.
Gabe Newell is the greatest man.
This video it's kinda old now but the reactions, duuude, I am pretty sure that even at my age I genuinely will be more excited than these people, trying to give him a hug or at least a hand shake in a respectful way ofc, bcs at the end of the day is our great lord and savior Gabe Newell!

Ill be star strucked if this happened to me.
That's nice that he wanted to do that. But we still need updates for stuff again. EVERYTHING on steam.
That’s literally Jesus himself showing up at your door
I ❤ STEAM DECK AND GABE AS A PERSON
Wonder how the woman who didn’t know who he was felt when she found out her delivery driver signed her steam deck 😭
2:26 laugh if you wanna keep your job
So awesome! Dare to deliver mine in France for early Q2? 🙃😬
Bro Imagine you get your steamdec hand delivered to you by Mister almighty gabe newell and you aren't home. Thats depression
We need a follow up on the ‘ick on ‘eck phenomenon
Gabe is a nice guy
Love Dannys energy tbh
imagine how disappointed the guy who was out skiing got when he saw the video
"Hi, I'm Gabe Newell I work at Valve".
Oh my god I'd be freaking out dude
I can tell my kids Santa Gabe is real
Gabe has basically become Santa.
These people face’s, was the best 😂
