Newell will join other industry heavyweights as he delivers a keynote speech at D.I.C.E. in Las Vegas later this month.
His ”perspective and vision” are most welcome says Joseph Olin, president of the Academy of Interactive Arts & Sciences. EA, Acclaim, Capcom and more will have big wigs there.
”Gabe Newell and Valve have become a force for innovation in gaming over the past a decade, creating some of the best-selling games of all time and a ground-breaking platform for PC entertainment,” said Olin.
”His perspective and vision of the games industry are a welcome addition to this year’s D.I.C.E. Summit, and will greatly contribute to the high-profile line-up.”
John Riccitiello, David Perry and Jun Takeuchi, and Todd Howard are just some of the confirmed top executives making an appearance.
