The Intern Who Rescued Valve and Revolutionized Gaming

Valve nearly faced bankruptcy before launching Half-Life 2 and Steam due to a legal battle with Vivendi, which sought to bankrupt the company. The situation was salvaged by a summer intern named Andrew, who discovered crucial evidence in Korean-language documents that turned the case in Valve's favor, allowing them to secure a favorable settlement and retain their intellectual property. This intervention was pivotal in preserving Valve's future and the landscape of PC gaming.
