Crowd Reacts to Gabe Newell Announcing Steam Deck for Australia!

[@ParkerWilson2710]

Let’s count with Gaben! Five, four, two, one.

[@WiewiurTV]

he forgot two episode one and two episode two

[@falcie8505]

There is no "three" in Half-life 3

[@ethan5985]

Thank you Windows 3.1 for Gaben's hate of three.

[@BernardoOne]

Gotta admire his commitment to never say the word three

[@flagshipbowtie]

Why? That's an absolutely imbecilio

[@tomasdqwx2781]

@@flagshipbowtie because there is no half life 3, no portal 3. Gabe hates number 3. There will be steam deck 2 but no steam deck 3.

[@flagshipbowtie]

@@tomasdqwx2781 why? What's his problem? It sounds like a total rtard

The fact that he KNOWS not to say 3, means he's still aware how much he can control the triggers in us, loyal Half-Life fans...

I love that enthusiastic "It was Gabe!" at the end, hahaha

[@TheBcoolGuy]

Sounded like AC/DC!

[@steadfast78]

Well… it’s official… Half Life 4 in the making… since Gabe doesn’t know 3

[@penumbrum3135]

Half-Life Alyx was made so they can skip 3 confirmed?

[@damian9303]

I never understood that prerogative since he worked on Windows 3.x: it’s where his nickname GabeN comes from if you activate the hidden easter egg

[@protocetid]

No joke there was a HL2 Episode 4 in the works by a third party studio while Valve was making Episode 3. Maybe Gabe ordered it and then someone informed him that he was missing a number in between 2 and 4, I wonder what they would’ve done if E4 had been finished first.

[@YoYoBobbyJoe]

Wait, even the interrupted countdown didn't get to say 3 LMAO

[@angeloantonio3737]

And then he counts skipping the number 3 😂

[@blakemckinnonproductions]

That was in fact... Gabe Newell!

[@DanielAyy]

"OOOOH!!"

[@McSqueezy]

they really delayed it by a whole year just to avoid saying the year "2023"

[@LyndanTylor]

When he finally announces it, he's just going to fade in, stand there for a moment, then say..... "Three."

[@eglaiosdeminecraft9259]

"IT WAS GABEE!!!" - "Also what's that Steam Deck thing?"

[@la_legione]

sniper's going to be happy about that

[@AWSOMzombie]

he's from new zeland not australia

[@MoonitheBooni]

Gaben was raised by two caring parents. Tragically, his father passed away, and his mother remarried, introducing a third parental figure. Unfortunately, this step-parent was abusive and remained unprosecuted. Gaben chose to erase the memory of his stepfather's abuse, deciding to avoid anything associated with the number three.

[@dantrianon4248]

[@apurpledragon]

I'm here questioning why he's got that Green Hill checkerboard background. Guess Gabe's a fan of the Sonic series?

[@demo-mp]

Sniper is very happy!

I WAS THERE ON FRIDAY AND LOST IT WHEN I SAW THE STEAM DECK

[@boxepic]

IT WAS GABE!1!!!11

[@MauricioOsuna-et8et]

Ok, now I see why people are so terribly worried about the future of Steam. Man doesn't exactly look like he's holding on to his position on Steam for another 30 years - he's definitely going to be alive and healthy, of course, but not as the boss of Steam. He better, better, better be setting his succession in motion...

[@NathanRohner]

I think Gabe and the other founders have created a really good culture at Valve, talking to some of the other devs they seem to all have the same methodology that comes from the top down. Gabe's legacy will live on, but I don't think he's done living yet.

[@MauricioOsuna-et8et]

@@NathanRohner That is the best outcome we can get: - this isn't all just Gaben; - everyone in there realizes why their service is the only one worth using; - they don't change any of it in the ways that the other services would do for short-term gains.

[@kamadeva5121]

@@MauricioOsuna-et8et The beautiful thing about Valve is that they are a private company so they dont have to resort to scummy money grubbing tactics to make money for investors.

[@molsen7549]

Honestly, I do believe that there are other people at Valve already that are carrying on Gabe's legacy. If not, we'd already be seeing the downfall of the platform.

[@yilli_9109]

Gabe is not a stupid person, he has obviously set up the infrastructure to support Steam and the Valve corporation in it current ways for decades into the future.

Three isnt a word, we've been gaslit

Why did it take so long to get to Australia? Also the bit of not saying three is still hilarious!

[@NathanRohner]

They had to setup all the manufacturing, warehouse, shipping, returns and repairs along with making it all work through Steam so we wouldn't get price gauged by our local retailers 🤷‍♂️ The good news is once the SteamDeck is available in your country all future products will be available to purchase on release!
