I was a beta tester for Valve around this time. I went to the Valve offices at the age of ~13 (escorted by my mother) after emailing Gabe. Later I received several hand-burned beta discs of HL (signed by Gabe) mailed to my house for the purpose of testing and providing feedback. I also received a final box copy autographed by the entire Valve team.

Sorry, don't have evidence at the moment as the discs are in my parents basement and I currently live abroad. They used to be available on http://planethalflife.com/nostalgia

In ~1997/8 I was a 13 year old kid co-running a Half-Life clan (although more like a fan club...since you know...we couldn't actually play the game). At one point I read an interview Gabe did online and 13-year-old-me decided to ask him to do an interview with my clan. Surprisingly he agreed, and the interview went ahead. Thus started my infatuation with Gabe. Fast forward to mid-1998 and I ended up being driven by my mother from Vancouver to Seattle to visit the original Valve office. I can’t recall if I invited myself, Gabe invited me, or if I even had the opportunity to play HL while there (but I certainly took many photos, so perhaps I can find them later). Later Valve sent me burned Beta/RC disks (if I recall correctly some were signed by Gabe, although not pictured here) to play the HL single player game as well as scheduled multiplayer matches with the Valve team. After HL was released Valve also sent me an autographed retail boxed copy. Later I visited the Valve offices again to beta test Gunman Chronicles. That’s the last direct contact that I can remember.

Дальше можно не читать, это откровенное враньё, т.к. Valve не имеет отношения к Gunman Chronicles.
В общем, очень похоже на фейк. Собсно, фейк на реддите - вещь нормальная.

Т.е. 13 летний, бета-тестящий ХЛ в офисе Вавлы тебя не смущает?
Вроде он приложил рабочую ссылку, по которой все и скачали эту версию 1997 года?
В конце концов, почему бета-тест не мог быть внутри Valve?

Нет, где-то проскальзывала инфа о том, что вальва нанимает школьников. Поэтому в это хоть с трудом, но верится. А вот про ганмена - уже враньё неприкрытое.

Так оно, скорее всего, и было.
Впрочем, игры в те годы делались для детишек, так что вполне понятно желание узнать их мнение.
