Valve CEO Gabe Newell explained why the company decided to delay the release of the original Half-Life for a year, even despite potential problems with the publisher Sierra. He shared this information in a documentary in honor of the game’s 25th anniversary. Gabe Newell Valve CEO All delays are temporary, but a sucky game stays that way forever, right? We could try to get Half-Life to market early. But we didn’t want to be that kind of company, we didn’t want to act like that. We wanted to build a different relationship with consumers. The original Half-Life came out in 1998. In honor of the 25th anniversary, Valve released a documentary about the creation of the company and the game itself, and also launched a holiday giveaway – players can add the iconic title to their library for free.
