I think he is a waste of time

Well I label him as a "Waste Of Space" and not just a little bit, but ALOT of it.

I never even heard of Gabe Newell
so i dont really care what he thinks lol

I just wasted 5 minutes of my life...

And look at him, he looks like Bill Gates brother!

He's a waste of space that fat @ $ $!  Seriously killercop, dido man!

well this guy isnt part of EA, he is part of valve.

also, i think psu might have added the part about them saying it wont be as good as the 360 and PC versions becuz G4 didnt say ne thing about that part and they dont like the ps3, i think psu wants a flame war.

And with all that money that Valve and Newell have made, he still can't afford a personal trainer, not even a membership to the local gym!  Stop stuffin' down the twinkies chubby! chubby chubby chubby chubby...fat!

Well that's his opinion But he is fat so you cant trust him :p GETS SOME FREINDS

I just so happen to think that Orange Box will be a waste of my time, so I will not be getting it.  Is he even serious, he is a developer making a game for a console and then he is gonna go and critisize said console.  He has got some balls coming off as if he doesnt need the PS3.  I cant wait to see what he says in about a years time after the PS3 takes off and never looks back.

I'm not gonna lie, the guy's studio puts out some awesome games but he sounds like a total noob to me.  Personally i think HL2 should've been kept on the pc where it belonged, i don't see it feeling very good on either console.  And what kind of idiot trashes the platform their very product is being released on? 

I've never heard of him also so I don't really care what he says because hes probably to retarded to be able to handle the PS3's power. He looks like that "special" person I saw on Maury one time.

Fat ba$tard thinks he's hot sh!t because he's got a decent game? Well he can thank this ps3 owner for wasting his time porting it over cause I know i won't buy it. Or anything they ever make or have a hand in, in the future. PC or PS3. What a d!nk

WOW this guy fust wasted 2 minutes of my life, he should pay me back with his life.

WORTHLESS B@$TARD

Wow....  this guy must be payed off or something.  It's like he's trying to tank possible sales of his own product just because he's not smart and/or creative enough to program for a certain machine.  And I may be wrong, but isn't the cell being used for lots of other research?

It's not like Valve has the ability to make great games anyway.  Orange Box will be mediocre at best.  Unfortunately for him, when the best games are coming out on Sony's monster console, he'll be stuck making the lesser Half-Life 3 on the XBox.  At least we have GOOD development teams like Rockstar and Team ICO working on the PS3... the Sony camp doesn't even need Valve.

Wat a fat fcukin r*tard!

WOW - I dont like this guy at all when PS3 is dominating the market I will love to see his response then.  I dont think i will be ckecking out the Orange Box now, just to spite him what a Jack ars!!

He looks like he loves little boys...beat your meat jerk. PS3 is the future

HE is a FAT piece of SH**, who needs to stop trying to make money off an old a** game.  I would love to take a huge Sh** right on his worthless piece of sh** face.  The only "Waste of Time" was the time used to conceive his a**.  He would have been better as a stain on his parents sheets.

OOH screw that, i was getting the orange box, portal looked like a fun game. EA making the game for us and that idiot's quotes, just made me have a change of heart about that game.  EA u suck!!!!!!!!!!!!

Great way to ruffle the feathers of people buying your game for the PS3 Mr. Newell. >_>

Meh: If he thinks that the orange box is a waste off time on my Ps3? then i will downloud it for free on my Pc... No bother paying if it issent word it !!!

gabe you are one prick!!! and wat kind of fassy name is gabe ha!!!

psn id: gingo..... well this fat b*****d can suck my d**k i think he's a f*****g waste of time he can f*****g die for all i care

sorry for the cussings but i am really livid with gabes comments cause i used to respect this guy

Yeah,thats good marketing strategy,already telling us that the game $ucks,because obviously you $UCK at making a decent game.

NY_Young1

EA isn't really that bad of a company you know.

All you guys can come up with is Fat F$%^ing Retard?  You guys are hilarious.  Even you morons can surely grasp that spending twice as much to develop for half the return is not a good business model.

But I don't blame you guys for being defensive when you know the PS3s days are seriously numbered.  Enjoy your bluray player.  lol

Here is what we should do. When the PS3 starts selling like hotcakes and has an onslaught of games and is considered the best, we should save this article then email it to him. He will eat his words. PS3 is the future.

I love HL2 and Counter-Strike: Source but Gabe is a total idiot. He says the ps3 is a total disaster? look at the Steam Platform and source engine, if anything they are the buggiest pieces of software that company has to offer. He criticizes anything that isn't PC

i think he is a waste of time.  someone who should have been swallowed

Is he willing to bet on it? If he think hard, not too hard that his brain hurts, he'll work out that PS3 will dominate the market in a few years or maybe less?

steams a waste of time on any platform

Whats the matter Gabe? Can't find anything new to whine about? We have all heard it before.... and yet the console continues to sell and I continue to enjoy everything my PS3 has to offer! 

Its a shame, I had just about forgotten your January comments, but you just can't keep your mouth shut!

-1 Orange Box sale

Below is the link to the interview on the Edge blog.  I'm not a tech head so i don't know what the heck he is talking about.  Seems like he got motivated to work with 360 hardware.  Why can't he get motivated to work with the PS3.  These developers need to stop complaining and start working.  Next Gen is here people it's time to put down the Starbucks and get to work.

what a **** retardo(isnt word that exist) saying waste of time and the same time telling us to buy an add-on for "waste of time" how is that

This fat Bastard used to work for m$ ... made his millions and there and then decided to open Valve... he still probably drops by Bills house every day and licks his nut$. 

Even smart people can be wrong. and Gabe Newell your wrong!

Everyone has their oppinion and thats just one. Leave it be - if you dont agree don't respond to it.

As for calling the guy fat or a retard or looser... This guy became a millionair before 20 writting complex commercial applications then stepped out on his own and has written three of the worlds top 20 computer games of all time, runs a highly successfull indipendent company "Valve" which is measured in the hundreds of millions and is respected by the hard core gaming community as he is not a poser. Having said that - he's making this comment as a geek, and he's not the only person with an engineering & programming background that has said that PS3 is hard to develop on. Maybe it is...

The real question is "whether its worth developing on PS3" and that question can only be answered by consumers who vote with their wallets. If the world thinks its worth it - then its worth it.

Valve are still pushing forward with Orangebox on PS3 - so whilst its a bit hard to work with PS3 - at least he's saying it's worth persisting. Its his money at risk and hes supporting PS3 so be happy - Gabe thinks its worth it. Thats better than what Namco is saying (like with Monster Hunter) - right?

Cut the guy some slack and dont take offense to Gabe's assesment of PS3 technologically as he is a hard core geek.

yeah those lamers over at steam took about seven years to make half-life 2, come on!

What a clot.. he should be fired so saying those things, and Sony should be the first to say "f*** you". History shows us that the PlayStation consoles are THE biggest selling consoles of all time, the past two.. only the second one outdid the first one, and now the PS3 will dominate.. thats fine if he doesnt want to be there when the money starts rolling in - I wont buy his games. Jackass.

Screw him - idiot. I'm not buying Orange box. I'll buy a snickers bar or something else instead.

Fat piece of S#*^, rot it He||!

Shouldn't bite the hand that's going to feed your future, Gabe.

It's a good thing they delayed the orange box for PS3 because now he's had time to ensure NO ONE BUYS HIS PEICE OF SHlT GAME. Half Life 2 might be "the greatest game ever" but there are other ways to get it rather than buying this box which a bunch of 36* owners have now told me that it's the only thing worth playing in the box. Team fortress with it cool "Incredibles" style movies might look awesome but the game play is apparently not as fun as halo which is the master of over-hyped. We're better off sticking to WarHawk.

You Know What Maybe Ur Mom Having U Was waste of time B!@TCH

u can go suck ur own balls

This guy I want to see face to face. Judging by his pic he looks like he's just the kind that would talk s*** behind closed doors. Come out and play!

He is a waste of space

oh look another EA HOMO. so when microsoft gives it to u GABE do u take lubed up or dry. probaly dry like EA game content.

he looks like a virgin. nuff said

-1 Orange Box sale.  I wonder if any else is noticing the slow M$ take over of the US gaming market.  Didn't their former CEO of gaming just take the CEO position at EA?  Now Newell...a respected developer (and former M$ employee) is trashing the competing console.  Hmmm.  That's some shady conspiracy crap right there.

Meh...Gabe is a highly respected guy in the gamin circles (well...360 and PC circles now i suppose) however All things considered and having debated this back and forward with a few of my mates...none of us are buying orange box any any console...mainly because Half Life 2...like Halo 3 is an average game made famous by people who rave about something until everyone else thinks it's fact.

I've beaten Halo 3...took about 8 hours give or take...I've found all the skulls (got my poo Hayabusa helmet to prove it) and i've got a load of the achievements...but still...the only thing the game has going for it is the online aspect of it and i'm starting to get bored of it already...and the same can be said for the orange box...it'll be fun for a week or two but then what happens next...I finished Bioshock twice and then traded it in because after you've seen both endings and done everything whats the point?

So Half Life 2...what's exciting??? well you get the game (meh) and the expansion packs (meh x 2) and then you get Portal...(bigger Meh...a game where all you do is make holes in the space time continuM) and...the coup de gras...Team Fortress 2...this is the reason we were all debating it but i ain't spending £50 on 5 games when i only want the online part of it...i spent £20 of warhawk and that was a great buy...but £50 on an over-rated, generic, FPS...i don't think so.

Gabe may be a sucka*s but thats his prerogative...personally i think he's the perfect kinda guy to work for Valve...loves and lives his PC and thats about it...C'mon guys, we have Killzone 2, Metal Gear Solid 4, Eye of Judgment, Uncharted, Call of Duty 4 (which apparently looks "better on PS3"...gamesrader it think) and a whole slew of other amazing games from developers who seem to care about the 6 million and growing PS3 owners there are around the world.

Final point...Think about it, if gabe says it's not worth programming for PS3 because they won't get a decent return on the higher costs and then no-one buys the game...then they won't make anymore PS3 games...he's trying to cause the outcome he wants...

it's not the PS3 he hates only...he hates the 360 too

http://news.teamxbox.com/xbox/9103/Gabe-Newell-Xbox-360-Makes-My-Life-Worse/

in fact, he hates next-gen because of the costs of development. he likes last gen especially with PS2 and Xbox...Wii is the only exception for him this gen because of it's low speced hardware and PS2/Xbox like graphics.

That's a very unprofessional behaviour. As a game developer, you dont say those things.

What the F*** does this fat piece of $hit know about a gaming consol. He sees sony as a threat andis trying to sabotage them. Well that B!tch can go suk a cok while PS3 puts out amazing games. TAKE THAT B!TCH

He looks stupid and he is  wasting of time.

That is the most stupid coment i ever heard.

If he think the PS3 is waste of time,then why did he waste his time making orange box for PS3? He can shoooooov orange box up his FAT A*S and see if it going to fit,wich will for sure.

I woder how much Microsoft payed him to say that?

he is a waste of space on this planet.

WOW, this guy is really really ignorant guys... how can he look at the PS3's specs and call this a useless machine?....or (waste of time)...i guess i'll still get this game since EA is the only dev with the REAL tallent to port this game...lets face it, Gabe newell doesn't speak for the world.... and we as PS3 users shouldn't even take this cr@p seriously.... he openly admits he knows nothing about newer hardware, or even how to play games that HE helped develop..... PEOPLE MOCK WHAT THEY DON'T UNDERSTAND!!!.... he's oldschool, i hope he moves on and gives the company to someone younger, smarter, and maybe a little less opinionated.... but thats just my thoughts... im still getting this game, to prove to him, the PS3 is worth the time,,, people need great games....HL2 is one...

Gabe Newell  fu..your brother bill gates

You're not funny, you're FAT!

MGS4 and Killzone 2 will butkick your stupid Orange Box back in your ass, so it becomes the Brown Box :P

Man that guy is annoying! "hatred of the architecture"?!!! The PS3 has teh best graphics by far - the only debate really is which console has the best games for you!

Come on chaps think about it,he's spoke this cr@p just to disturb a hornets nest,looks to me like he's succeeded,he's probably laughing his head off with his fellow numbskull side kicks because we've all taken the bait

screw u azzzhole

Well you hate what don't understand applies with him. I was going to buy this, game was looking forward to it, and this guy's comments probably would not have changed my mind about buying it.  But I had no idea that EA was making the version for ps3, and EA isn't very good as it is, I'm definitely going to think twice now, Probably won't get it.

stop wasting ur time talking sh!t about da PS3 u dum F##K!!!

tanner 1 is right, but I would say more, I think he just said that to get more free publicity for his game and he succeded, we are all talking about him and his game, and I had never heard of both of them before

*FILL IN THE BLANKS...*  

This guy MUST BE PAID off by M$ THAT Worthless peace OF ____! HE has NO Clue on what he is saying that ______ ______! How DARE he say such a thing like that.. that S--- Head!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! You know what He just waisted my time your time and sonys time!! Microsoft haz gottn good at paying off these people and companys to do such a bad things to a very good company who knows more about gameing than any of those du$@ B__!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

yea, listen to him "i dont think" thats the problem

Sounds like the jaded view of the average gaming philistine who has lost the will to live.

Don't waste my time with comments like this. If he's so desperate for attention he should speak to Sony.

Thanks to you Gabe Newell i delist Orange box from my "games to buy" list!

These sort of games play better on PC anyway. I'm playing the new Team Fortress now and cant imagine playing it on a console anyway...

Guys PS3 is going to have a small library this time around but not everyone has to go out and buy a 360 to have a good time. I dont plan to - instead I suppliment my console with a PC - combined they give me a very good choice of games & online options.
