Also Gabe Newell confirmed a new Valve engine

Fan: Is Valve potentially already working on a new engine?

Fan: Source 2? Could orâ€¦ could not be?

Gabe Newell: Weâ€™ve been working on Valveâ€™s new engine stuff for a while, weâ€™re probably just [incomprehensible, subtitled as: "waiting for a game to roll it out with"]

Fan: Is it going to be more than just an extension to Source? Is it an entirely new engine?

Gabe Newell: Yeah!

Agreed. It wouldn't have been funny if that wasn't part of it. Besdies it's a nice hat. Well worth the $2.50. It could have been worse and the crate give him some random crap that you don't want or is worthless :/
