Great Companies

Co-founder Gabe Newell is one of the leading industry's visionaries that puts standards on innovation in gaming and software technology. Valve is a corporation that uses more bandwidth than some entire countries do and is considered to be the 4th largest bandwidth consumer in the world. They are known for their Counter Strike, Left 4 Dead, Team Fortress, and Portal game series and for their video game distribution software client, that has over 25 different applications on it,called Steam. They are always looking for highly productive and talented individuals to bring innovative ideas to the table. Their corporate business structure is a flat hierarchy horizontally across all departments.

Blizzard Entertainment is a subsidiary of Activision Blizzard and has created hit video game series Diablo, Warcraft, and Starcraft. They were originally did development work in the company's early operation days in game ports for other studios until in 1993 they were able to start developing their own software, acquire other companies, and grow in size to the mega giant corporation that they are today and one of the leading video game developers and publishers in the industry. The latest game that they've created and currently is being tested within closed doors is Hearthstone: Heroes of Warcraft, which I was given an invite to yesterday night, that I would love to create innovative ideas for as a card designer and game tester on behalf of Blizzard Entertainment.
