"Gabe Newell, president of gaming company Valve, is launching a 3D-printed, titanium gnome into space later this month to thank New Zealand for its hospitality during the pandemic."

More info

Live stream for the event

AND Gabe Newell will donate a dollar to a New Zealand children's hospital for every viewer!!!

There is also one achievement to complete in each game about it (L4D2 and Half-Life 2)
I found it interesting to share it here with you guys for anyone that like this stuff :)

This is it. This is how we bankrupt Gabe Newell. We just need to mobilize on social media and have a few billion people tune in.

Edit: I think it's happening right NOW. It's launching in less than 6 min.

my father is not amused. he finds your offering of a shiny gnome insulting. your planet shall be destroyed in order to make way for the new intergalactic highway. you have 14hr 22 min to either say goodbye to your loved ones or move to a different Minshara class planet.

good news everyone. in 14hrs, instead of killing you all when your planet is destroyed you will be teleported to an artificial human habitat recreated to look exactly like your planet. my father, the big giant head, finds your consumerism and confused matting habits entertaining, you shall live out he rest of your lives as the latest attraction in his zoo. if there are any belongings you wish to take with you please place them securely up your rectum before the deadline

dont forget your mouse and keyboard. and make sure there is no disk in the cd rom drive as it will eject after teleporting.

You want to tell me you don't have monitors down there?! How are we supposed to live in your zoo without the basic things?

New Zealand is the place where the rich 1% are buying land and building their bunkers.

So I think it is more of a way to say thank you for building my doom event bunker :)
