Valve Really Is The Best Company!
I emailed the front desk asking if I could get a poster or some merch if they had any for my birthday (since they don’t have a store) and they sent this massive poster plus stickers, patches and a card.
Discussion
They even signed it? Duuuude.
Yeah!
Lol one of the screens is censored
i hope it's half-life 3
Lmao the copium is found everywhere, even in a stray thread. Keep it up soldier.
He's watching a Japanese video.
He is QC’ing Hentai games on Steam
You wouldn't have written it, I wouldn't have noticed)
I'm sad that they don't still have a merch store. Still got my old headcrab and vortigaunt plushies from there. I bust out my old headcrab hat for Halloween sometimes.
Valve employees do respond to a solid amount of emails, its very impressive.
This is so cool. Where are you from? I’m from Spain, I don’t know if I would have the same luck as you if I give it a shot.
I’m in Australia and they sent it free of charge
Lmao I was literally going to do this for my birthday which is coming up. Aus too
love the octopus
And the fact that the octopus even signed it :)
Wow. That's awesome 🙂
So Squidword is working on valve now?
Wow, I would keep something like this forever. Super jelly! Very cool
this is amazing, do you think people outside of the usa could get anything like this or would postage be too much?
I live in Australia and they sent it free
oh wow that’s lovely! i assume you attached your address to the email??
Yes, it took a week for them to send it because they had to get the autographs
You're not shitting us right now? They really out of the blue announced in their office that "Guys, we need all of your signatures for this one dude's birthday!"
That’s all their employees right? I heard they are super lean making them the highest revenue per employee company in the world.
/me looks for Galaga guy.. ..
Which email address did you write to?
Check my comment
The company makes so much money that it all goes back to the employees... Private businesses are the best places to work.
Yes. Just ignore Counter-Strike cases, Artifact and TF2.
didnt they fixed tf2. or are you talking about the hat crates
That’s amazing!! Happy birthday man, enjoy your gift. It’s so cool that they took the time to sign it for you aswell
This is so wholesome, I hope you had a good birthday bro!
And that's why we can't have nice things...
I'm happy for you, really, it's a great and unexpected gift, but advertising such sollicitation can only result in a net negative for everyone.
I would hate to work in a office gareen like that though. The poster is marvellous!
I wish I could work at Valve. Seems like a wholesome company to work with
That's cool. but what's it from?
Portal, these flat characters at 3d desks are featured in Portal 2 animations
Shit I mean I'm turning twenty soon so.. you just got me a helluva idea.
nah that's crazy, even a small youtuber would most likely not go through effort like this
Valve is the only company in the entire world that made me question if a monopoly is always a bad thing.
Then I look at Epic, EA and the rest... Well yeah, anti monopoly laws are a good thing.
But still, it's amazing that they managed to made me question that.
I think you need to get out more
Huh?
I'm so sad that Valve doesn't have merch on their store.
I got some Steam t-shirts and hats made up and people always come up to me at the airport or mall and ask if I'm a Valve employee.
I tell them I'm a shareholder 😁
how are you a share holder?
Got 1% of a share.

Oh I was joking on how he did it. I mean I assume you can buy one but idk I’m quite literally to young to care
yeah it’s a private company that’s why i was confused on how he got it
Valve being private is one of the ways it's so good. You DO NOT want it to go public.
Side-eyeing at Paradox Interactive.
You can be a shareholder of a private company, shares are just issued by the company itself and follow a stricter set of rules governing how they can be passed around
In Valve's case this would probably mean being best friends with Gabe himself and somehow convincing him to give you some
I've invested hundreds in their software 😁
They give shares to employees so you could buy some off of them
Probably they are nominal.
He gets a share from cs2 knives he sold on the steam market.
It's hilarious, it's as if they don't want/need more money but people still want to give them XD
Wait, so Wal-mart is wrong...? Quality does matter?
They used to have one, I still have the Linux TF2 t-shirt from it
They sold t-shirts on the steam store when they launched half life 2. They stopped for some reason
I want a furry Chell shirt
