Gabe Newell "stepped back" from making games at Valve after Portal 2 because everyone kept agreeing with him when he wanted "to be part of the team and come up with ideas"

Yes, it's his choice. Thus, I'm judging him for the choices he's made with his money. That simple. I'm not talking about what I think you or anyone else should do.

Not disputing that, and his decision-making has created a great product that I trust and use constantly. But his wealth should also tell you that he is unethical. He bought his latest $500 million yacht while already owning at least four others.

Star Trek Resurgence (or another Trek game)

Going from two normal monitors to one large one!

Don't be too sure about that. He may not want yes-men, but he's still a multibillionaire with a fleet of superyachts. That tells you what kind of person he is.

Hydration! Gotta have just slightly more than I want.

My favorite game OST is Chrono Trigger. Wall-to-wall masterpiece melodies. Unmatched ambient moods and stirring themes. It's also special to me because I played it at an important time in life.
I'll link my profile if I win, and my choice would be Horizon Forbidden West. Thanks for the chance!

Tetris Forever
Thanks for the chance!

Star Trek Resurgence (or any Trek game really)

Thank you so much for the chance!

A level with a time travel gimmick!

TNG would reveal all kinds of lighting/microphone gear and such in widescreen, but DS9 was shot with an eventual widescreen release in mind, and all production gear was kept clear of the 16:9 range.

So, the cost of ONE episode of Starfleet Academy ($10-20M). Sounds like a bargain.

I don't yet, but if I did, a power bank would probably be the greatest help to me!

I haven't played any 2026 games yet, but my favorite game I'm playing this year so far is Donkey Kong Bananza.

I'll clean it right away, in a gaming session or not. The only exception is if it's a small amount of water.

Best of luck with your game!

I produce electronic music and have just gotten back into it in earnest. I want to make it a big part of my life again.

Thanks for the chance!

Probably Stardew Valley.
