The channel's latest Newell chat, "Gabe Newell Explains Why Valve Never Went Public," is already its most-viewed video with 1.3 million views after four days. For example, Newell mentions "there was a big thing a couple of years ago where everybody was trying to hire low-cost content producers in India and China." He says Valve was "trying to do the opposite." "If somebody working on a feature film production in New Zealand is making $200,000 a year, if they come to Valve they should be making $500,000 or $5 million, creating that much value," Newell continues.
