Gabe Newell denies meeting with Tim Cook

[Sliver]

In a podcast done with the SevenDayCooldown Gabe has said that he, nor anyone at Valve, has met with Tim Cook.

We actually, we all sent mail to each other, going, "Who's Tim Cook meeting with? Is he meeting with you? I'm not meeting with Tim Cook." So we're... it's one of those rumors that was stated so factually that we were actually confused.

No one here was meeting with Tim Cook or with anybody at Apple that day. I wish we were! We have a long list of things we'd love to see Apple do to support games and gaming better. But no, we didn't meet with Tim Cook. He seems like a smart guy, but I've never actually met him.

So it looks like all those previous news stories, that we all knew had the possibility of being rumors and hearsay, were indeed just that.

You can read the original article over at Kotaku, and the full hour long podcast is supposed to be up within a day over at SDC.

It's a conspiracy. Valve didn't make a parody of Apple's parody of 1984 for nothing.
