This past week, Valve's Gabe Newell gave not one, but two presentations at the LBJ School. They were both filmed but so far only one has appeared in decent enough quality on YouTube.
Here is Gabe Newell: Reflections of a Video Game Maker.
During his 62 minute long presentation, Newell touches upon a number of Valve's own titles, where he sees the industry is going, and even mentions how gamers have a keen sense for detecting bullshit from companies. He also discusses productivity in the work place, economics, political institutions, and the future of game and industry studios.
It's an incredibly insightful listen, so be sure to get comfortable and settle in to hear what the man has to say.
