"Confirmed by an image on the Internet. Further, there is a second image on the Internet that conclusively confirms that the first image is legit."
I am glad to see that this subreddit doesn't just buy any random story, but rigorously checks the sources.

It's a silly AMA. Hardly hard-hitting news, not every single thing has to be "rigorously checked."

It's just a question of common sense, or lack thereof. I lose some of my faith in humanity if people really are too gullible to not be able to tell an obvious hoax if they see one. I mean, sure, I honestly can't tell if I'm being trolled or not, I just don't understand how come this post has so many upvotes and so many comments from users that, without winking smileys or other blatant displays of sarcasm, seem to believe that the image is actually a screencapture of an email from Gaben.
Ah well, many Dota 2 players are very young, I guess that partially explains the gullibility.

So, i'm guessing you are just bored?

HOLD UP!. Why is this tagged fluff. Just cause Gaben is a big guy doesnt mean you guys can make fun of him with a fluffy tag...
15
:) Seriously, it's because that email is mostly likely fake.

Why is it "most likely" fake? Several people emailed him about it and eventually he was free and responded to them like he always does.

Several people claim they e-mailed him and got a response.

well they're a bunch of coordinated motherfuckers all claiming the same day/time for the new AMA.

Hopefully Karmanaut can refrain from ruining this one.

I must've missed it. What happened?
2
Karmanaut enforced the rules and people got mad because the literal god Gaben wasn't allowed to break rules that even the president managed to abide by.
-6†
Can I get that in English, preferably from someone not in the pro-moderation SRD circlejerk?
Thanks.

There are very strict rules on the IAmA subreddit, for various reasons. One of those rules is that you are only allowed to open your own AMA thread about 30 minutes (I think) before the start, not earlier. Gabe Newell opened his thread 3 hours early, and had the thread (and all the user questions) be deleted by the moderator Karmanaut who cited this rule and asked for the thread to be reopened at the appropriate time.
Gabe Newell did not start a new thread, or respond in any way yesterday. This caused a lot of people who have been very excited to feel dissapointed and a lot of the blame was laid on Karmanaut.

There is rules on AMA. Karmanaut enforced them. Nothing else.

The circlejerk is pro-moderation? Hah! I think you mean "Reddit is literally controlled by the government".

How can I be sure about the reply when it does not have a recipient e-mail that shows it is really Gabe?
4
cause he really replies emails
1
cause it doesn't say which e-mail this reply is from?

from r/pcmasterrace : http://i.imgur.com/9CfsGYi.png
It looks like he has set up some kind of autoreply when "reddit" or "AMA" is mentioned. Didn't try it myself - thats what pcmasterrace is saying.

All hail Lord Gaben

We all knew that the 3rd of the 3rd was never a good idea
the new date is 4 and the time is 2:00, coincidence? I think not. Xx420bl@z3it4gabenxX
He probably ran to his bunker when he realized the AMA was gonna happen on 3/3.
Care to explain why the 3rd of march is significant?
Half-Life 3 jokes.
oh hahah how could I miss that lol, thanks
noob reported
my birthday
Happy Belated!
Halflife 3 and 4 both confirmed.
