Gabe Newell AKA Gaben, is the Co-Founder and Managing Director of Valve. He started the company with coworker Mike Harrington using the millions they earned from working at Microsoft. His first major project was the popular game Half-Life. Newell went on to develop games such as Half-Life 2, Portal, Portal 2, Team Fortress Classic, Team Fortress 2, Left 4 Dead, and Left 4 Dead 2. Despite openly expressing his dislike of consoles, most Valve games are available on the Xbox 360 and PlayStation 3, though not supported as much as their PC counterparts.

Robin Walker is one of the original three creators of the Team Fortress Quake mod in 1996. A native Australian, Walker was hired by Valve to create Team Fortress Classic, and is currently a lead developer on Team Fortress 2. He has also written various articles on the Official TF2 Blog.
