Probably one of the stupidest games I've ever heard of looks to be adding a Linux version, I give you: Gabe Newell Simulator.

This popped up on SteamDB today:

About the game
With this game your dreams can finally come true because you can play as Gabe Newell, the boss of Valve Corporation!
This game is divided into two modes, the first it's the steam mode where you can manage and decide what type of game release on steam, what to buy and what to develop (with steam sales included!).
In the story mode you can control Gabe Newell in his fight against other companies, talk with his employees and decide the fate of Half Life 3!

Why is this even a thing? Article taken from GamingOnLinux.com.

this looks mean.

So, the greatest game ever is coming to Linux?

Oddly enough, given all the joke reviews on other games, all the ones I saw for this one are accurately negative.

Good. Although if this was a Steve Ballmer simulator with chair-throwing and all, you might still get those joke reviews. Or if someone made a Torvalds simulator where you flip the finger to shitty companies or something. Although I don't think Linus would feel offended, so maybe not comparable.

It's not on Linux (Unity I think, so maybe if many ask; also likely works in Wine) but you can always imagine you're Torvalds in this:

Well if it's gonna exist, it seems appropriate that it be on Linux.

Wow, that just seems plain horrible. I don't understand how the developer(s) are expecting the Linux community to receive this, when GN and Valve are doing so much to further the weaker areas of our platform.

^I would totally play that, that should come to Linux, and also be made first.

Quoting: GuestIt's brutally ironic that this game actually made it onto steam.

I wouldn't be surprised if whoever is responsible for deciding brought it to GabeN and he said "why the hell not?"

Either way, it's better than Yohji Simulator.

Valve's employ handbook, required reading for *every* employee, litterally states, "you have the power to greenlight". Anyone, *ANYONE*, working at valve can approve *anything*.
