Why doesn't he donate the 500k and ask us stupid questions instead?

I'm not even sure what to say.

This Gabe Newell certainly has the ability to pop up 500k in the blink of an eye, why didn't he do it himself? For God's sake, it's a charity correct?

Besides, assuming he made an AMA because the fundraising were successful, would he even answer the questions honestly?

Because, like every rich person, he'd rather get credits without losing money than lose money. That's how you become rich.

And how exactly do you know that he did not donate anything himself and that and made the fundraising seperately? Besides he probably already has donated more than you ever will.

After the winter's sale "giefmoneypliz" card tactics I honestly can't expect anything decent from him, kinda sad. Going from "revolutionizing gaming" to market-fee biatch is disappointing.

I'm not talking about envy or anything like that, all I'm saying is Valve, and the crown jewel Steam is all about milking non-existent stuff instead of actual development, which is the opposite of their initial goal.

Well before being a revolutionizing mind and whatever, he is an entrepreneur so he "must" think about money as well.

If he's willing to do that, it means Valve is ready to talk about the next HL, because I'm sure that more than 90% of the questions will be for that. It's true that Valve can afford easily that sum, but the more the hospital gets, the better. As I see, it's for US only.

Question: "Something about HL(2EP)3"
Answer: "You'll learn in this century, next question".

Here, your private AMA with Gaben, with answer to every question about HL(2EP)3 there is.

High possibility.
Or... Question: When will you release HL(2EP)3? Answer: (quoting Blizzard): When it's ready.
Next question.
At the same time, they may have something prepared for GDC or E3 and they decided to do something good with it.

It is so easy to "Donate" with the money of other people, shut up and donate or admit you don`t care to donate. Getting peoples attention into something most of the times is better than just giving the money.
