I shudder to imagine the shitstorm that would ensue if such a headline were true. Though it did make me wonder how much Valve is worth these days -- not that it matters.
Don't worry. One of these days, ReepBlue, Motanum, and DaMaGepy are going to join forces and create Portal 3. That was probably just a dream I had at some point, but it would be cool. It would also take at least nine years for them to develop.
I've been a Marvel fanboy since age 4, but I couldn't bring myself to continue watching Agents of S.H.I.E.L.D. after episode 3. It wasn't that it was bad, exactly. It just seemed so inane compared to the original comics and the movies. I haven't seen the new Captain America movie yet (because I...
I don't understand why one has to be better than the other. It's just like when Portal 2 came out, and everybody jumped on the bandwagon of "Portal 2 is the better game, but Portal 1 had the bigger impact, therefore it is somehow still the superior experience."
I honestly do get where these...
Earlier today, Valve announced that the community may now submit merchandise designs to the Steam Workshop that, if chosen by Valve and merchandise partner WeLoveFine, could be sold as official designs at The International 4 event in July. By going to the "The International" tab on the Dota 2...
Earlier today, the Dota 2 team announced via their Steam Community group that regional leaderboards for matchmaking rankings will now be made public. The leaderboards will show the top-ranked players sorted by their MMRs, and will be divided into four geographic regions:
Americas

I will say is this: Some of the coolest art styles in the history of gaming sprung out of the fact that nobody had the polygon counts to do anything photorealistic. In other words, a lack of resources inspired game devs to be visually creative in a different way, which is something I really...
Not to add fuel to the flame of speculation, but Valve have said before that, with the Dota 2 community anyway, they actually use updates as a means of communicating information, since the community so reliably mines the update data. This and that are two very different things, but I think it'd...
I distinctly agree with you, Adul, but I promised a nicely-formatted PDF in the original article, and I couldn't risk withholding it because Gabe's taking his time. After all, if he isn't coming back, then I'd be withholding the PDF indefinitely, which isn't very nice.
Well, since it's been three full days since Gabe left the thread hanging, I'm going to assume it's actually over at this point. As such, I've updated the article with a nicely-formatted PDF containing all of the questions and answers that Gabe fielded.
It's been well over 7 hours since Gabe's last post. I hope we aren't left hanging like this indefinitely for the AMA. I assume Gabe will return to properly close it off, if only because he said he'd return. But then, I suppose an utter lack of closure might be a pretty good symbolic gesture for...
Update (March 7, 2014):
Even though the AMA never officially ended -- Gabe said he was going away for a bit, and that he would return after more questions had been upvoted -- it's been three full days since the AMA was left hanging, so we're assuming that it's over at this point. As such, click...
