They kind of are. Maybe not you but they are out to get your green cash dollars with as little effort as necessary. Like all large corporations they do everything they can to siphon your cash. They use every single psychological trick in their repertoire to make the maximum number of people...
The crazy thing is we know two people that should have had enormous impact on HL3s art and style are gone. Isn't that troubling? I'm worried we are going to lose one of the major writers too. I can't imagine a new Half Life without Marc Laidlaw, Erik Wolpaw, and Chet Faliszek.
But hey maybe...
Giving an artists unlimited resources to work on something that he does not want to is a curse. I imagine writing for Dota2 or TF2 is getting old at this point. Don't get me wrong I love both. I have over 2000 hours in each. I imagine writing a more mature game has a completely different...
I don't at all think this. My comment was directed towards "after Valve's inevitable future demise." I don't see Valve ever completely dissolving. I could imagine them splitting though. I doubt either will actually happen.
I'm not so sure about that. Maybe a more recent team. It looks...
It will be very hard for Valve to fail. Not impossible but it would devastate PC gaming.
What I think would be more likely is for Valve to split into two companies the Game Designers and the Steam Overlords.
I seem to remember Google running a test and finding that a flat structure was...
I remember years ago I said Valve was not actively working on HL3 and everyone on the official HL forums went full Hammer Legion Member claiming it wasn't possible for Valve not to be almost finished with it. I still have to wonder if it is gathering dust.
I wonder if just like Viktor Antonov...
The SteamOS will be less versatile than Windows 10. It is a simple fact. The majority of PC users will not switch. Anyone with very minimal knowledge already knows how to connect their PC to their TV and game.
Other console prices are very heavily subsidized. In order to compete with the...
It has everything to do with Steam Machines. Steam Machines were designed to fight the oppressive nature of OSX and Windows 8. With Windows10 Microsoft switched back around to allowing an open developer friendly system.
Unfortunately, unless Valve is willing to subsidies prices for Steam Machines, which I don't believe they will the price will be higher than any console. It will also have a severely limited game library on an OS most developers ignore.
Steam Controller looks nice, but Valve already missed their opportunity for successful sales of Steam Boxes. The announcement of Windows 10 makes the Steambox idea obsolete. It will just be a far too expensive machine that runs on a half baked OS.
Like always Valve took too long and missed...
Actually it appears HL3 had very little development and L4D3 had an extreme amount of development. Recent announcements by Gaben suggest Valve has abandoned the single player experience and has moved onto multiplayer social content.
No one is trying to rush Valve. That is not the point. We...
Valve still has yet to acknowledge us. In light of recent interviews with Gaben it seems like Half Life is looking less and less likely.
I think we need to take action. I know it has never worked in the past, but we need to do something to save our beloved franchise. I know many have frowned...
I was just going to say that. It isn't a huge deal :p
We all have our moral opinions you were doing what you thought was right. Nothing wrong with that. Honestly, it is probably better to err on the side of caution.
I don't think anyone from this website would have posted something they felt...
LambdaGeneration would have done the exact same thing that Valvetime did. They are trying to take a moral high ground only now because they were not the first.
It is really pretty sick and poor fan service what they are trying to do.
You are really exaggerating the issue. This is no way on par to Half Life 2 beta being stolen. It wasn't a fan stumbled onto something. That was someone hacked into Valve and stole shit. This is nothing like that. The situations are not in any way comparable.
Also this is not going to...
I would feel this way if there were any major leaks. Right now basically we have the code names for different games they are working on. If anyone stole legitimate information about a secret project I'd be upset.
Honestly, I'm wondering if Valve didn't intentionally leave that site open. I...
L4D3 can easily have an incorporated in game store. I think we will see customizable survivors. Honestly as much as I would kill several men for Half Life3, L4D3 is a much better initial release game.
No worry about catching up on story, multiplayer is a big obvious need for a launch title...
