I Want to give the real facts about Gaben. I am in a Discord call with him, and nothing on this article is true. 2601:C7:C200:3B60:F0C8:3886:F2FB:3116 (talk) 21:19, 12 March 2022 (UTC)[reply]

add divorce date 2019 Mellojello43 (talk) 17:20, 9 November 2022 (UTC)[reply]

The article already says that. RudolfRed (talk) 20:09, 9 November 2022 (UTC)[reply]

no it doesn't it just says divorced it doesn't have the year Mellojello43 (talk) 20:13, 9 November 2022 (UTC)[reply]

That's because the time of divorce is unclear. We only know that Newell was divorced as of 2019. IceWelder [✉] 20:17, 9 November 2022 (UTC)[reply]

Article says Gabe Newell is the wealthiest person in the video game industry but that's wrong afaik

Not sure who actually is the wealthiest but I do know the wealthiest person in my state is Tim Sweeney, and he is in the video game industry. Article says Gabe Newell has a net worth of 3.9 billion, but Tim Sweeney has a net worth of 4.7 billion, so that would make Gabe Newell very much not the wealthiest person in the video game industry. Jcrawl16 (talk) 08:38, 15 May 2023 (UTC)[reply]

I've edited the phrasing to clarify that this is according to a source (and not given directly in Wikipedia's voice). Popcornfud (talk) 10:53, 15 May 2023 (UTC)[reply]

It says estimated as ONE OF the richest people in the videogaming industry, not THE richest person. 2603:6000:AB00:4E1F:714E:28C6:D5DE:B64 (talk) 04:52, 11 November 2023 (UTC)[reply]

"Explorer Victor Vescovo sells his Hadal Exploration System to American billionaire Gabe Newell’s Inkfish ocean exploration research organization..."

Is this the same American billionaire Gabe Newell? Popcornfud (talk) 13:19, 21 June 2023 (UTC)[reply]

There's also this article, so it seems like it is. Vacant0 (talk) 13:35, 21 June 2023 (UTC)[reply]
