Valve co-founder Gabe Newell appears in the promotional video for Leviathan, the 111-meter Oceanco superyacht he owns. Newell acquired the Dutch shipyard in 2025, and the vessel was delivered late that year. At 364 feet long with a gross tonnage approaching 5,000 GT, Leviathan features diesel-electric hybrid propulsion, scientific laboratories, a professional dive center, medical facilities, and thoughtfully designed communal spaces.










"Zero budget" and "solo developer" are fast becoming the biggest marketing scams on Reddit. Recently saw a guy posting a huge sob story about negative comments, crying about how his "tiny team" made their game with absolutely zero funding. The hilarious part? They’re partnered with one of the biggest publishers in Turkey. It’s an FMV game (meaning they literally paid a cast of actors), and I've personally seen their massive, obviously paid ad campaigns blasted all over gaming media. It’s crazy how many studios milk the "underdog" lie for sympathy upvotes. You’ll see "solo devs" posting "Look at what I made all by myself!" when there’s secretly a full 20-person studio working behind the scenes just to manipulate the algorithm. Honestly, I can't even be that mad at them. The tactic clearly works, and they're making bank off the illusion. Just remember: half the "starving indies" you see going viral are just playing a character.
