Is Valve finally pulling out of the video games industry?

Is Valve finally pulling out of the video games industry?

With Blizzard's recent video game Overwatch they are literary laying siege to the Valve Pantheon.

How will valve respond to this tough situation?

Will commander Gaben turn the tables?
Or will TF2 be crushed and Valve's dominion on team based shooters come to an end?

>Is Valve finally pulling out of the video games industry?
lol do you even know the last game that Valve made?

I wouldn't pull out of Mercy

So you would cum inside? What if she gets pregnant?

>Valve's dominion on team based shooters

>on team based shooters
>Forgetting that cowadooty games exist and are unsurprisingly much more popular
Did you forget how many 12- 14 year olds exist on planet Earth?

>pic
so is this supposed to make me want to play TF2, because I'd rather still play Overwatch

I want to fuck that mercy so bad

She's definitely hit menopause. She's 37.

This. My mommy is now going to be my baby's mommy!

ONE GAME

H A L F L I F E 3

All valve has to do is wait for that official eleague by blizzard to fail and then launch team fortress 3
Voila, overwatch is dead

Are you sure about that?

>valve
>tough situation
Pick one

TF2 is almost 10 years old already. They need to make TF3, and it needs to have a lot more classes.

at this point valve would literally throw tf2 characters into overwatch if it meant more money
i dont think they make games anymore

Valve has a raging hard-on for VR, but we'll see if they produce anything in-house. They've been doing some hiring to that end.

That's a bit early for menopause. Not impossible, but early. Average age of menopause is about ten years later.

Same, but with me it'd be Mei
>37
>menopause
This better be either a joke or bait

>literally
>valve pantheon

Really, fucker?

Mercy doesn't look like an 18 year old. She just looks like a really sexy 37 year old.

I wouldn't either

It has reached Duke Nukem Forever levels of hype at this point. There is no way they can ever live up to everyone's absurd expectations .

Tribes still blows both of these games out of the water
Midair when

That's a good one, user.

>that pig
What is wrong with you

>Valve ever releasing a third installment of any of their successful IPs

overmeme is casual as fuck

>cawadooie
>team based
what the fuck am i reading?

>throw tf2 characters into overwatch
I like this idea.

youtube.com/watch?v=wRgH7HvmSiE

>team based shooters
Overmeme is a mutant crossbreed of FPS and ASSFAGGOTS.

>valve could put out HL3 on VR and completely save the whole medium
>still dont do it

>meme watch
>team based
What the hell am I reading?

>Midair
Why didn't I know about it before? It looks literally like Tribes.
>implying overwatch and tf2 are better
TF2 is good, but not better and Overshit is basically moba.

release is november 2017

>call of duty is a team based shooter
>overwatch is not

What world do you live in where 18 year olds look like Mercy? She looks more like a woman in her early 30s, late 20s then a barely legal chick.

I laughed.

Nah, Overwatch is a class based FPS shooter

Monday Night Combat is the mutant crossbreed

Love how mad SJWs get at overwatch
>NOOOO YOU CAN'T HAVE ATTRACTIVE WOMEN IT'S NOT FAIR!!!

Neither of them are,
stupid chen poster

does this image contain some sort of humour?
i feel like i've caught the autisms and am unable to detect humour and sarcasm.

>TF2 and Overwatch character banter
>TF2 getting full costumes that revolve around their character, like Scout getting a legitimate baseball uniform, Pyro dressing up like a unicorn and Sniper getting camouflage sniping clothing.
>Valve comic creators and Overwatch comic creators teaming up and actually releasing shit at scheduled times bimonthly.
>Mann VS Machine with Overwatch heroes.
>Official TF2 and Overwatch crossover SFM videos that isn't that god awful Death Battle.

This could work out very well...

>R*eddit formatting
Get out

TF2's been dead for a while. Overwatch isn't overshadowing TF2 in popularity because of competing with it, it's because it's filling a void left by TF2 in the wake of the great Hat Fortress collapse.

Valve has pulled out of anything that takes effort or requires minimum standards.

Them not doing more to foster the mod scene on their FPS games was stupid as fuck. Turning mods into full fledged games is at least half responsible for their success, not helping create a new base of mods to draw from was short sighted.

How would that even work?

I think they could get along very nicely.

They personalities might find a way to offend SJW's

Literally what?

Simple; have the team in TF2 only think that they are within the 1950's-1960's era while the rest of the world is advanced as far as Overwatch is now. It would explain all the complex screens and microphones that the administrator has to communicate and witness the action. Also explains on how they have access to all these crazy weapons and cosmetic that seem to clash with the time period. They could even do a thing with Gray Mann being a lead supporter and cause for why "The Omnic Crisis" got out of hand so badly in the first place...

TL;DR: "Captain America: The Winter Soldier" the shit out of it.

>Overwatch
Ugly waifu trash.

>TF2
Sexy mercs of all races and nationalities.

I think this one is clearcut.

i love my mommy!

Because it's another TF2/OW thread.

So, Scout and D.va would hate each other to the bone and have passionate hate sex resulting in the both of them bleeding with some blood on their teeth, right?

>So, Scout and D.va would hate each other to the bone and have passionate hate sex resulting in the both of them bleeding with some blood on their teeth, right?

Scunt and D.va were made for each other. I agree yes.

valve can't pull out, they would take steam with them

besides, what "pantheon" is blizz laying siege to? CS:GO? TF2? L4D2?

valve making games and the shit they have now isn't relevant, MAYBE dota2 if that. I love TF, but even I can see that it's not popular anymore. im assuming that is what you are really digging at, game popularity.

remember at one time, when TF2 was still $30 at retail back in 2007 on release? when you still had to pay to play?

imagine if that shit infected overwatch. you would all leave and cry to blizz about BRs and HUEs and all that shit. balance would be out the window because enough of you paid already for loot crates, fuck your balance!

then you all would be whining to blizz "whens OW2, guys!".

they would need time
remember, though your probably too damn young, TF2 was originally going to be released back in 2003, but it got pushed back because it was nothing like TFC and they wanted to make a GOOD GAME, so we waited and waited with news being slow. and then, 2007 showed up and we rejoiced.

wait about 5 years to ask, then another 5 for the game to come out.

So, 2017?

Reinhard and soldier bond over glory
Torb and Engineer call each other short
Zarya and heavy be Russian
Shiper hits on widowmaker, tries to impress with jarate
Demo and reaper complain together
Spy is disapproving of sombras methods
Pyro and Zenyatta understand each other
Medic tries to experiment on Soldier or roadhog or Pharah or something

good post, keep fighting the good fight user

She wouldn't let you do it anyway.

>valve has to launch a new game

en.wikipedia.org/wiki/The_Lab_(video_game)

In the last three years this is the only game Valve has released, and you have to pretend DOTA 2 leaving beta was meaningful

>implying that game isn't just an glorified tech demo for VR

last thing they made was Portal 2

I'd like to see her try and stop me.

Scout races against Tracer and Lucio, the three of them running into anyone unfortunate enough to cross their path.
Soldier calls Soldier: 76 a pansy for not being proud of war and challenges Pharah to a rocket jumping contest against her jetpack.
Engineer tries to give his sentries sentience after seeing Bastion.
Heavy challenges both Reinhard and Zarya to a arm wrestling competition at the same time and holds them off but not actually winning himself.
Sniper tries to learn how to climb as fasts as Hanzo, falling and failing multiple times.
Demoman invites Junkrat out for drinking, being emotional drunks, sobbing into each other's shoulders.
Spy and Reaper essentially play a game of hide and seek, trying to kill the other first.
Pyro either runs away screaming in fear from Mei whom he sees as the devil or hops up onto her ice wall trying to eat it with a spoon as if it was ice cream.
Medic tries to hit on Mercy to little success; only scaring her with stories of his past. Upon hearing how she mutated some people herself, he begins to try and encourage her to do it some more.

>Not Engineer and Symmetra bonding over trolling others with their teleporters with Engie interested with her small sentries.

Medic and Mercy getting MVP and Play of the game.

Soldier and Solder 76 panic and rocket jump away as a car drives by and a railroad crossing alarm goes off.

Hey, Medic himself doesn't look too shabby considering he's in the same age range as the rest of the TFC crew

Valve is drowning in money too much so they dont make anything new other than skin cases
