Valve President calls metaverse a problem that was solved a decade ago.
Gabe Newell, the co-founder and CEO of Valve Corporation, the company that gave us iconic games like Half-Life and Portal, does not believe in the hype around the metaverse.
In an interview with PC Mag, Newell even went on to say “Most of the people who are talking about metaverse have absolutely no idea what they’re talking about”. ## The hype around the Metaverse.
