What happens to Valve if Gaben retires?
I wonder if gaben has a proper replacement once he retires.

Of course he does.

Nothing will happen, he's just a public figure.
Why would he "RETIRE" Valve is a privately owned company. Owned specifically by Gabe. He doesn't even have to work. He does so because he is a good business man.

Gabe dosent get any younger and he cant run Valve forever.
He is already in an advanced age.

He is 54. That's not old. Hell, that is 11 years away from retirement age.

Someone else will have to decide what new microtransactions are added to their money making titles.

By the time he reaches retirement age, the retirement age will probably be like 78 at this rate.

Why would he retire though. Even if he stayed home all day, he is still the owner of Valve, makes the same money, and is the King of PC gaming, even if he were to require a walker and yelled about kids and lawns. He would still run the company, just through a proxy.

That proved to be a lie,walk disney was never frozen.
I always thought big companies always have a backup plan for in case something happens to the leader. So if the main boss is gone, there is a second boss who is directly under the main boss in the company ranks.
