It&apos;s Gabe Newell, the founder and CEO of Valve.

They&apos;re central components to skill trees from many games in the past few decades, including Cyberpunk 2077 and the <a data-analytics-id=\"inline-link\" href=\"https:\/\/www.pcgamer.com\/adam-jensen-voice-actor-says-cancelled-deus-ex-likely-wasnt-a-jensen-story-anyway-and-that-i-gotta-be-honest-i-gave-up-on-it-a-long-time-ago\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">late-great Deus Ex series<\/a>. Though neither of those two series&apos; writers looked too fondly on the whole neural-computer mash-up. In fact, both games have humans succumbing or abusing this technology as a central component of the storyline.<\/p>\n<p>Nevertheless, there are clear benefits to a BCI when used alongside technologies intended to improve the freedom, quality of life, or mobility of those with disabilities.
