Now that is a one-sided article if I've ever read one. Not to say that her position wasn't frustrating- I imagine that it was incredibly frustrating- but yeah OK she gets fired from Valve and then immediately goes on to do exactly what she was doing at Valve with the same engineers at a spin-off company that has Gabe's blessing producing stuff for Valve. How is that a loss? It sounds way more like Valve wanted to do something that was a radical departure from anything they'd ever done before (hardware), the intrinsic structure of Valve meant that it was difficult if not impossible to set hardware up to succeed (peer-evaluated hiring, bonus tied to value of work), and then Valve realized it wasn't working and decided to make a clean break instead of drag it out. So then Valve immediately says "OK guys we couldn't make this work within Valve but we will back you up 100% if you want to go make this work external to Valve."
