Gabe Newell, Gaben, Lord Gaben, Gabe Jackman. He has many names.
I’d instantly call out names like Shigeru Miyamoto, Hidetaka Miyazaki, Nobuo Uematsu, Hironobu Sakaguchi, John Romero, Chris Avellone, Richard Garriott, Chris Metzen, Jeff Kaplan, but this guy sadly not!
Edit: oh and Notch.
Where is Carmack on that list?
Also Gilbert.

Well it’s not meant to be an exhaustive list, just the first few names that came to mind, of developers whose games I’ve enjoyed immensely!
I don’t know most of these, on the other hand. Romero rings a bell. And, not on your list, Sid Meier. Guess it helps to put your name in most of your game titles.
But Gabe? Come on. You have heard of Valve though, right? He’s rich, powerful.
Anyway, your AI summary made me laugh. “Shocked the gaming world … by appearing remarkably slim and healthy”
Good for him, I guess.
I know Valve from Half-Life 1 days, I also know Coca Cola but couldn’t tell you who the CEO is!
Not mine, just google’s!
I spotted that too, the weight and health police (not referring to you) need to chill, even better - they need to get a life. Gamers don’t need that, we have many lives already!
