    Gaben's obesity problem bodes ill for the near future of PC gaming, kinda like how Steve Job's cancer problem bodes ill for the future of Apple. These are men of visions, and it's hard to substitute them.

    If Gabe Newell has a heart attack, the future of PC gaming looks very bleak indeed...

    My question would be, how fat and how much do you think you'll weigh in 10 years?
