The funniest part of the Bloomberg article is the description of Gabe at work. Newell rarely gives interviews, and Valve veterans say he withdraws from most day-to-day decisions, preferring to play arena battler Dota 2 in the office or sail on his $500 million superyacht Leviathan.Valve itself has a very creative team that values developers and gamers.Its entire structure is built on avoiding quarterly pressure and management hierarchy.There are now about 350 people working there, with generous payments to meet the needs of the “geek who suddenly got money.”Plus, there's a guide for newbies, including an in-house comic with tips on how to make the most of your corporate retreat.For example: “You can hire someone to look after your pets.Take our charter flight.Go relax in the pool."
