GabeN is most likely to pick someone who’s been around with the company since the early days, like Erik Johnson or Scott Lynch.

Gabe has often expressed distrust of publicly traded markets, a plausible outcome is that his ownership gets converted into an employee-owned trust or a collective buyback, this would effectively permanently lock Valve into its current profile, distributing profils back into salaries and bonuses for the staff.

But Valve is not a public company, so you don’t get randos. Gabe is very aware of this fact himself.
