Valve's Gabe Newell On Next-Gen Frustrations

It's not everyday that the man most responsible for the creation of Valve Software decides to speak to the public about what's on his mind; when Gabe Newell speaks, we listen! Even more rarely does such a respected member of the game development community speak so candidly about the state of the industry, or in this case, its future. Why is Mr. Newell so frustrated about the next generation of videogaming? Check out the exclusive two-part video interview at 1up.com with the man behind Half-Life and see for yourself.
