 In 1992, while still working for Microsoft, Gabe got in touch with a few minor demons who were working in the accounts department. During a night of heretical drunken debauchery, one of them bet Gabe Newell that he couldn't do a triple backflip with three quarter turnpike off the bar and onto the floor. Gabe performed it effortlessly, and so the two entered into a blood pact - the sole condition being that Gabe could invoke the will of the demon in his hour of need. Twenty years passed and Gabe is in his office, reading a press release for Windows 8. "This Windows store could ruin us. If Microsoft succeeds in this landgrab then Steam could be locked out of the Windows platform - the free will become bound and there will be pestilence and famine among mankind". "Fear ye not," spake the Demon. "I will light a spark which will implant into the mind of a mortal soul a device of cunning such that the fruit shall save your business and break the chains of the oppressor." "That'd be pretty sweet, cheers bro" retorted Gabe.

 And so it was that the idea for DXVK was implanted in the mind of a random German - his frustration with not being able to play anime titty games on Linux eventually overcame him and he was forced to create a compatibility layer so profound that the earth shook with its magnificence.

 And the rest is history
