He's higher than Spielberg, Trump, Rockefeller and Cuban

$4.1B net worth

 

[Ray Down]

 

[Roubjon]

With valve making such a big cut on every game sold on steam it's no surprise.

 

[BasedKiliK]

Half-Life 4.1 Billion

 

[Frillen]

134.

Holy shit, remake of Half Life AND Half Life 3 and 4 confirmed.

 

[Qblivion]

That's nice. He should give me some.

 

[Arulan]

That's not that surprising when you consider how Valve is one of the most influential companies in the video game industry, and a leader in virtual reality research and development.

 

[Arafo]

 

[pr0cs]

Hence why no half life 3, no point now that Steam is a cash cow

 

[Emulated Hype]

He's higher than Spielberg, Trump, Rockefeller and Cuban

Gaben 4 Prez 2020!

 

[Graphics Horse]

With that sort of money he could just hire Gearbox to make HL3 from pocket change

 

[maquiladora]

 

[Zaru]

In 2015, Gabe had 2.2 billion.

Now he has 4.1

Straight up skipped another 3

 

[Nicky Ali]

Hey Gabe, you wanna know how to get even richer?

It rhymes with "Half-Life Pee"

 

[OldMan]

Damn a lot of those people I haven't even heard of

 

[Zedox]

Well... interesting.

 

[Flux]

New Smarch sale to get into top 100!

This guy hates the number 3 =/

 

[Abilidebob]

So does pretty much every single other digital distributor.

Online fee?

 

[The M.O.B]

Surely they could find a better developer to make HL3

 

[KHlover]

With him being worth that much, just imagine how much money Steam as a company has. Privately owned, with no investors to answer to. They could literally stop working and wouldn't EVER run out of money.

Spoiler

Evil tongues might say that's EXACTLY what they did

 

[AoM]

videogames

 

[Carlius]

bigger than Rockefeller...gtfo, insane.

 

[Omega Kirby]

Those steam sales doing work

IIRC, they take "just" 25%.

GOG, Origin, PSN Store, Microsoft Store, Ubi Store, Google Play and Apple Store take 30% or more.

 

[Gilbals]

Gaben 4 Prez 2020!

Then the country would be on Valve time....
You think nothing gets done now....

am pretty sure it was always 30....

 

[Spyderist]

I like how Valve went from being one of the most important PC game developers to being nobodies in my eyes.

70% developer
25% Valve
5% can be donated to differente purposes

 

[Shredderi]

I don't get it. They could do a proper big budget Half-Life 3 with absolute impunity. Why did it come to this?

 

[SlimySnake]

lol how this guy gets a free pass of not releasing games and Nintendo, Sony and Microsoft get criticized to hell and back everytime they either delay/cancel a game is beyond me.

PC gamers are too easy on him.

What? Sorry...I was too busy playing everything.

 

[Adnor]

I doubt he wants to finance Borderlands 3.

 

[zma1013]

He should run for president so we'll never have World War 3.

 

[Mr Fahrenheit]

That'll happen when you've got damn near a monopoly

 

[Luxorek]

Good for Gaben.

It's insane how Zuckerberg has 55 billion dollar in his pocket. Dude started Facebook little more than 10 years ago, he is barely over 30.

You know, as someone who's not that big of a single player shooter fan I couldn't care less about Half-Life 3. I certainly DO care about how far we've progressed from the disgustingly invasive DRM practices in the mid '00s thanks to steam. Steam reinvigorated the PC gaming market and I'd sacrifice a thousand Half-Life 3 for that.

 

[MetalGearZed]

9/10

 

[BigTnaples]

Half-Life is dead.

 

[Tom_Cody]

Lot's of people in here talking about Steam, but isn't his money overwhelmingly from being an early Microsoft employee/stockholder?

 

[Anth0ny]

In 2015, Gabe had 2.2 billion.

Now he has 4.1

Straight up skipped another 3

I laughed
