Out of interest, what has Gabe actually done for the games industry this year?

Well, as Gabe states it himself: He's just the face of the company. People project everything they see in Valve on to him. And Valve did a lot of good things for the games industry last year - launching Portal 2, proving that a Studio that has been in FPS for years can develop a RTS/MOBA successfully, supporting Indie-Devs to no end, converting their biggest current MP game into a free2play-model without ruining it entirely, expanded Steam's reach again by a few million players, providing a working Digital Platform for the biggest game launchs of the year (Skyrim and CoD MW3) and became contractor for the white house in developing a curriculum around the education with video games.. The list goes on, but Valve/Gabe singlehandedly proves how a games-studio can be self-controlled and successful in an ever changing industry over a long time. /fanboy
