Just found this interesting "Top ten lessons from my days at Valve" [http://www.techflash.com/seattle/2010/01/innovation_and_startups_ten_lessons_from_my_days_at_valve.html] list from an ex-employee. Kind of gives a recollection of the things that Gabe and company had to endure during the first few years of the company. Thought this might be appropriate seeing as how Gabe is due to win a Developers Conference award.
The most interesting bit is about how Amazon tried to buy nearly 50% of Valve right after the original Half-Life was released.
