This article is filed under Characters.
Gabe Newell (Alias GabeN or Gay Ben) is the co-founder of Valve Corporation, the company responsible for popular video games such as Half-Life, Team Fortress 2 and Left 4 Dead.
History
Gabe Newell was born in 1962, and he was the most intelligent man at Harvard University, causing a huge number of teachers to lose their job. He replaced all of them! Then with his gigantic brain, he went to Microsoft, only to be fired by Bill Gates for hacking his high-tech computers.
Valve Corporation
Before Gabe turned it into a video game company, Valve was a plumbing syndicate, founded by two famous plumbers, but the syndicate went bankrupt thanks to Gabe wasting all their money on food. So, he decided to turn the old plumbing corporation into a merry land of fun, joy, and Russians.
