Publisher's Synopsis
In 1996, we set out to make great games, but we knew back then that we had to first create a place that was designed to foster that greatnes. A place where incredibly talented individuals are empowered to put their best work into the hands of millions of people, with very little in their way. This book is an abbreviated encapsulation of our guiding principles. As Valve continues to grow, we hope that these principles will serve each new person joining our ranks. If you are new to Valve, welcome. Although the goals in this book are important, its really your ideas, talent, and energy that will keep Valve shining in the years ahead. Thans for being here. Lets make great things.
