First 30 questions are about Half Life 3

>first 30 questions are about Half Life 3
>shuts down AMA

Who the fuck cares?

Why are they even bothering if they don't make games anymore?

hes going to ignore them
$10 says its going to be mostly steam and VR questions

In a perfect world only HL2 E3 questions would only be asked

>there are people who still care about Half Life

It's been dead for almost 10 years

Did he not think shit like this would happen? It's like he really can't count to 3

That's precisely why they care. It doesn't deserve to be dead.

>reddit man

>Money is what steers the community

Go back to

Reddit

In a perfect world we wouldn't have to ask questions because HL2E3 would have been released back in 2008.

>reddit
kys

>you only get two questions

Should ask if steam will ever be sub-based

He'll answer two questions and then bail.

these shit jokes still get me

He shut it down? Does he have no spine to just answer honestly and say no?

1. source?

2. it's reddit so who gives a fuck

3. he's going to be shilling something

I don't use reddit how do I ask a question? I want to ask about how all the good games get burried below asset flip shit making the store usable and what he thinks about having two storefronts.

It won't. Nobody is going to legitimately pay a monthly subscription to access a store to purchase games.

The only possible way it would work would be if you got unlimited game access a la Gametap, but even then most people aren't going to be willing to pay a monthly sub for something they'll lose access to the moment they stop paying (inb4 Spotifyfags pop out of the woodwork).

Actually, memes are how the community steers work.

>inb4 announce Half-Life 3

You gotta create an account first

What's a "reddit AMA"?

what did he ever expect be asked?

HL3, if it ever comes out, will be VR. So we're at least a decade out

He will just ignore them as usual. When you are on the internet it's much easier to do than in person.

Can't say I even care about Half Life 3 at this point, it's never coming out. Even if it does Valve will just outsource it to another company and put skins in for the multiplayer.

She's fucking dead, son.

Honestly what does he even do these days? Does he have an actual role in Valve?

And then just post it in a thread? That's fucking gay. ASKfm literally is better than reddit.

If they do make HL3 it's just going to be an overblown techdemo like HL2.

honestly outsourcing is the best that can happen for Half Life 3 nu-Valve is literally dogshit look at 7.0 CS:GO Left 4 Dead 2 and Team Fortress 2.

I know people like to shit on raids, but can we organise to fill this thing with purely questions about where their fucking games are?

He probably won't even hint anything before GDC.

What's to even ask at this point? Valve isn't doing anything interesting or innovative. There's no game releases on the horizon, it's just going to be leddit tards kissing his planet sized ass and praising him even though him and Valve has pure shit now. "Gee Gaben thanks for all le epic sales and cosmetics, you're saving pc gaymin!"

Doubt he does anything hands on. Probably just shows up to welcome people, then jacks off to his knife collection

>HL3, if it ever comes out
It won't when having a few modelers making skins and giving out crates to be opened with real money (playing off of people's addiction to gambling) is far more profitable than making a whole new game.

VR is innovative.

Literally nothing wrong with these.

I'm going to make multiple ( a lot, seriously ) alternative accounts to spam Gabe about Half-Life 3. I want him to understand that nobody gives a single fuck about him or his life and that all we want to know about is why they won't develop and release this game. Fuck fat Newell.

Forget HL3, weren't we supposed to get Source 2 a few years ago now?

And valve isn't doing it

(you)

Source 2 is here. It is for Dota 2 only though. Gotta buy them crate keys bub. Giving the community source 2 to play with, will not be profitable.

We did.

...

Source 2 is out. Dota 2 is the only Valve game currently utilizing it.
Engine is supposedly open for use by anyone.

>HL3 will be announced on reddit

Sup Forums BTFO again!

I signed up to Spotify because it was the only music service which still had an incredibly obscure atmospheric album that I enjoyed in 2008
Then they removed it from their listed albums
They also removes metal gear rising revengence soundtrack but I'm honestly more mad about the other album

Do they still make games ?
That fucking pad reveal was the most disappointing thing in the last years

Worst girl.

Gabe only cares about the technology and sales side of the industry. He doesn't give a fuck about making great games unless they bring him closer to the "Bill Gates" status he's always imagined himself to be.

they make money these days.

Spit in the air and it will land on a franchise more deserving of a sequel than Half Life.

Fucking this. wheres my l4d source 2 ffs

I like Gabenpad. Although some games really suffer the lack of right thumbstick. Some are winning, though.

L4D cannot profit from micro transactions, therefore, no L4D

baka desu

There are going to make Left 4 dead 3 on source engine 2.

Anyone knows some burger law?

I want to know if it's legal to start demanding for a subscription to an already existing service that you provided without monthly payments before.

I don't know, it doesn't sound legal to have someone suddenly waking up, and all his Steam purchases are now paywalled.

We did though. Dota 2 is the only game utilizing it right now and will probably be the only game to utilize it for a long time.

Hats are more profitable than making groundbreaking engines, user.

>source 2
>it's just source 1, but with easier modding so goy adds more hats
it hurts

Sure they do, but only multiplayer ones.
But Valve doesn't make any hats, user

>new game
>from valve
Kek

Not unless they can find some way to put a micotransaction store in it, they won't.

VR is shit for first person shooters, end this VR meme.

Yeah I'm sure that controller made plenty

It's possible, but incredibly unlikely. There's no specific statue that would prevent it from happening (kinda like the whole doomsday scenario of Valve revoking your game licenses without any explanation), but in reality it won't happen unless Gabe wants to destroy Valve entirely/get himself ejected from the company. No company would commit PR suicide like that.

yes its obviously legal going forward, assuming they hashed out license and royalty rights with publishers

they couldn't charge you to access games you already own (games to which you have already purchased a license)

Valve doesn't even make games anymore, but it would be funny if all he got was stuff about half life 3.

They don't need to look for it, pretty sure microtransactions can be really easy implemented in almost any game

>But Valve doesn't make any hats, user
You know what I'm talking about.

>2017
>caring about valve
>caring about gabe
>caring about half life 3

>gaben lies about not developing it
>they release it on an anniversary one year with all episodes ported to source 2

too bad it'll never happen

Instead of asking directly about half life. Why not just say something like, "gabe, can you finish this pattern, 1, 2,...."

or
"gabe i'm thinking of a number between 2 and 4."

or give him a easy riddle, "I am the root of the final number before a new sequence, what am I?"

I care about Portal3

Valve is invested in the VR meme, doing a lot of research on it. Likely on how to get you to pull out your credit card in the VR world.

Whatever it lost was made up for in dota compendium sales.

wow. ever thought about making a career in stendup user?

>AMA
>for a guy who literally does fuck all and a "game company" that hasn't made a new game in almost a decade

I'm certainly caring about whether we will ever be freed from them and their copycats.

They won't outside memeing. It's Reddit. They bootlick the instant they're shown even the slightest amount of official attention.

That's how it'll go. Pointless as anything other than a PR exercise.

literally objectively incorrect

Then can we raid it?

Are you implying that Sup Forums is any different?

user I'll be honest with you I don't mind losing single-player games if I already finished them, in fact I often uninstall/delete every game I finish, but subscriptions for online games for some reason really trigger the fuck out of me.

>generate hype for l4d3
>make all updates and DLC free but at the cost of charging a fortune for shitty skins for characters and weapons, as well as hats and shit like that
>make a ton of them for release then leave the rest to the workshop community
>begin an entire new jew-market to jew off of

it wouldnt be very hard. at all.

That's even worse

how about we raid it with actually decent questions. like why valve's customer/tech support sucks unbelievable dick. or why valve is being kikes with csgo, or why valve isn't bothering to create anything new and just developing more mirco trans shit for dota & csgo.

>But valve doesnt make any hats
being this much of a delusional and evasive faggot

>having a memesprouter with shit for brains

Tha'ts pretty easy. Most of these things exist because of their internal structure and lack of management. Gaben can allow to continue this shit because Steam is profitable and he's having fun

>>first 30 questions are about Half Life 3
>>shuts down AMA
shuts down reddit

I like this idea.
We get some resolution out of it if it works and reddit can't counter it without looking terrible.

No. But at least here people can shitfling at someone who gobbles corporate cock without being downboated into silence. Reddit is a self-censoring platform because people downdoot any comment that is negative (without being qualified by "just hear me out guys..." "I love the game but..." plus a soppy paragraph about how great Valve are despite their shittiness) and it gets hidden. At least here people aren't silenced for wrongthink, just ridiculed -- and since we're anonymous, that's really not so bad.

A good chunk of those questions are gonna be about that "HL3 is dead they never even started development" article, which is fine by me, box that fuck into a corner and make him answer.

Steam becoming sub-based is essentially shooting themselves in the foot as every other competitor to steam immediately becomes more attractive for the sole reason that you don't need to pay for them.

If there is enough people asking then they can't ignore it. Would be good

Honestly at this point. I'd rather him confirm that the third game is not even being worked on anymore and leave it at that.

he simply doesn't answer those questions ez pz
