Valve's founder surprised fans with changes in appearance: they didn't recognize him

Gabe Newell, the founder of Valve, which created Dota 2 and CS2, surprised fans with radical changes in his appearance. He has slimmed down so much that many fans literally didn't recognize him.

The corresponding photo was published on the Starfish company's website.

Users immediately noted how much Gaben has changed since his appearance at The International 2023. Social media users pointed out that he not only lost weight but also changed his hairstyle. Fans emphasized that this change has been beneficial for Newell, as he now looks even younger than before.

It is worth reminding that Gaben traditionally appeared at TI12, where he opened the main esports event dedicated to Dota 2.
