I hope he has some sort of contingency plan. Perhaps he can find a successor.

It involves golden tickets and the unsolved disappearances of a handful of children.

Brutal, I know, but it's the only way.

I selfishly wish he had a son or daughter to carry on his legacy lol

More generations deserve to know how good Valve is.

Son/daughter would be like "ugh, this is lame, I want to play real-world games with peoples' lives. ..like, corporate wars, or screw-the-smallguy."

Kids never handle the inheritance right, and passing on the experiences they need in order to do so is hard as fuck.

He has 2 kids lol. The eldest - Gray Newell, seems to be more into racing than game dev, though.
