Gabe is referring to psychologist B.F. Skinner's ideas on behaviorism in this clip. Specifically operant conditioning-- behavior is strengthened or weakened based on its Reinforcers or Punishments consequences.

Gabe Newel, CEO at Valve re: what is "fun."

It's not realism, but behavior reinforcement.

“I never thought to myself that realism is fun. I go play games to have fun.
[Fun is] the degrees to which the game recognizes and responded to the players' choices and actions.”
