Oh wow, the (now ex) wife of the co-founder. The guy who sold his stake in Valve before Steam was launched and then went sailing for 6 years with his wife. This paints a whole new picture of why he ended up leaving and it's fascinating. Grateful that she shared her side of the story.

> The structure of the deal meant that we would be vested in Valve’s success over the next five years

Great foresight.

Yeah I remember reading Gabe Newell's reflection on the leak of Half-Life 2 at some point and while Mike Harrington's departure was mentioned only briefly, I always got the impression that he left because he'd make his millions and was happy to sail off into the sunset.
