I wish Valve still made games.

I wish he leaves judaism

Fuck that give me Left 4 Dead 3 already

Fuck off, Jew.

Apparently you've been living under a rock.

I also wish valve still made games

>Dota

>the hl2 episode trilogy was never completed
>tf2 became a hat simulator
>le cake is le lie

ah, the valve shit box

a bundle of some of the worst games released in the past decade

the cake is a lie!

one of the more contrarian posts I've ever seen on Sup Forums, congrats

That was one of the best Christmas presents I've ever had

>sales are final
FIX THIS ALREADY

...

Reminder that the only way to play TF2 is on 360 because PC is riddled with aids now.

...

or ps3

>"the cake is a lie" meme will soon be a decade old
Fucking vintage.

>ALL YOUR BASE ARE BELONG TO US!!!

what u say

I thought we were spouting vintage memes?

you are on your way to destruction

jesus christ, I was just about to ask if this was the last game they released.

>five fucking years since the last valve game
>have a new game announcement
>it's a fucking trading card game

Probably the biggest slap on the face to a fanbase in years.

This depresses me. That collection really changed my life.

Wish they made games worth playing.

What will their NEXT game be about?

Clickbait.

...

He said games

and nothing good will come out of it. that's what happens when company gets spoiled with your money, they could feed a small country just with their profits from fucking csgo skin boxes

i'm still suprised how they managed to keep their face despite leaving their biggest title, half-life, on cliffhanger (probably) forever

How much you guys wanna bet they're making The Orange Box 2 and that's why there's such a giant delay?

>The Orange Box was the last game my dad bought me before passing.
:_:

fake news

what do valve employees do all day

twinkies and ho hos

their best

And while you're dying, I'll be: Still Alive!

DOTA 2 / Steam store / VR / Unannounced projects that'll never get announced

>suggesting to play with a controller
why even bother

nothing. i think their hello employee book went out once and it was kinda viral, it was basically "do as you please, join the interesting projects that happen at our place". i guess no one even considered situation where no one wants to do interesting projects

>lead server down error handling manager
>junior hat deployer
>entire corner of the room full of case opening probability managers

They have a few teams of people who work on open source gaming infrastructure projects.

Like:
SDL, which is a cross platform alternative to everything in DirectX other than Direct3D, Valve actually employs the lead developer who originally created it who bounced around at places like Apple and Blizzard before landing at Valve.
Mesa, in particular the RadeonSI and RadV drivers which are now the best drivers for AMD hardware available on any platform.
Plus LLVM, NIR, the Linux kernel itself, etc.

Development on those happens in the open and you can watch for the commits by Valve employees if you want.

They also have the services of relatively famous developers like Ryan Gordon to aid third party developers.

Half life 3 has become too much of a meme even to the devs that I doubt it will ever be made.

I'm really hoping that they're working diligently right now doing "nine years in development"-level projects, games that take that long to make and will have been "worth the wait."

We got TF2 due to that. Imagine some huge amazing game to succeed it that they've painstakingly worked on this long to produce.

whatever they feel like.

Played Portal 2 a few months ago again.

Damn it was good. RIP Valve

>6 years passed between Half Life 1 and 2

>high school kids who played TOB at release have families now
>a 2-term presidency passed between TOB and today

Dont get me wrong, I love TF2, but there no way what they did with TF2 was a long thought.

If anything TF2 was more of a great idea thought out in the middle of development. Then added on with different features as an after thought.

>because PC is riddled with aids now
nah
>but muh bug!!!
fixed

still no l4d3
