Gabe Newell: Windows 8 Was A ‘Giant Sadness’


He’s rarely had kind words to say about Microsoft’s latest operating system, but in the same interview with The Verge in which he spoke at length about his company’s plans for a “Steam Box” PC, Valve boss Gabe Newell also talks about Windows 8.

Mainly, how it’s a “giant sadness”. And how he finds the OS “unusable”.

I look forward to the winning entries from the inevitable Giant Sadness Game Jam.
