Amazon tried to buy part of Valve in the days before Steam, according to former exec who says she's been "erased" from Valve's history

“Women, especially in tech, often seem to disappear when the story gets told.”

Had that gone all the way, industry history might have been very different.

I scaled the business opportunity within four years at $500 million dollars.

I didn’t see a role for Sierra.

According to Harrington, Amazon offered to buy a minority stake in Valve a few weeks later.

I understood why she felt as she did, but the senior Valve team knows better.

Watching the video, I felt like my place in Valve’s history had been completely erased.

I know that Valve wouldn’t have been successful without Mike.

It wouldn’t have been successful without Gabe.

And it wouldn’t have been successful without me.

From the beginning, I invested time, treasure and industry expertise to make the company a huge success.
