VALVe Hires An Apocalypse

Valve has done something completely out of their happiness-promoting character. They have hired an economist. Yes. This bizarre move apparently has something to do with economic research (i.e. boring), and, in the "but" sense of the word "and," the details spell potential unhappy doom.

Their economist's name is Yanis Varouououfakis, and reports are coming in saying that he is Greek. Now if "Greek Economist" isn't enough to make you poo your pants, then just remember that Valve has hired one.

Another sign that this could be the end of everything is how the guy looks. Just look at the guy's profile pic:

I'm not promoting that we "judge books by their covers," as the saying goes; but, at least to me,  Mr. Varouououfakis has an uncanny resemblance to Mr. Kratos, the Mr. God of War. And the last time we saw someone who looked like Kratos, the world ended, and the Gods died; not very positive results (sarcastic voice).

And if that doesn't scare you, then this will. It's what the Kratos said in his first Valve blog post:

"This is how my relationship with Valve blah blah blah. Valve’s burning desire to blah in something much bigger than just video games."

Did you notice the words he and not I just bolded, underlined, and italicized?  Well if you did, you'll also notice that this man believes, somehow, that there is something "bigger" than "just" video games.   

Also, he's married. Remember what happens when you mix Kratos with married? (Answer: Apocalypse)
