Gabe: Save a Life. Start the Summer Sale.

A life is in your hands Gabe.

There used to be an embeded media player here, but it doesn't work anymore. We blame the Tumbeasts.

This years Steam summer sale has yet to start and tensions are running high.  Two desperate gamers have taken hostages and pledge to kill one every day that the summer sale doesn’t start.  According to the terrorists “all they want are great games at cheap, affordable prices.”  At least one man’s life right now rests in the hands of Gabe Newell and Valve Corporation.  One of the terrorist spoke about putting plastic explosives on the hostages face.  I think he’s serious; it’s obvious he’s played Bulletstorm.
