Gabe Newell interviewed with Xbox's Phil Spencer and journalist Geoff Keighley. The interview's contents are subject to an NDA, but Valve News Network's Tyler McVicker has released some snippets of information from the interview with an agreement of the parties involved.
He's been "stuck" there during COVID-19 and loved it. He even got together with a few other people to throw a "thank you" concert for New Zealanders.
If this happens I can see it only being a good thing for the New Zealand video game market.
I could even see some new video game studios pop up, so I say go for it, because at the end of the day this will lead to more video games being made and I'm all for that.
The bigger thing to look out for is:
Why was there an Interview with Gabe Newell and Phil Spencer, which is still under NDA...
He could at least let us buy Valve Indexes here, still says not available in your country on Steam.
Do us all a solid gabe. Sell the Halflife I.P so the people that want a new game can have one. cheers
