Well look at him, gabe must struggle to make games.

>making better games
Why did he stop making games?

You either die a hero or live long enough to see yourself become the villain.

Everyone who makes games does so for the same single purpose; to get paid. He found a way to get paid without making games so there's no reason to put in the effort anymore.

There's literally no reason. Steam is flowing in money. And endless supply of fucking money. They wouldn't even feel it if they made new games people wanted. Whether they tanked or not. Money just keeps flowing.

They have no goodwill left in the playerbase. None. I am still struggling to see why they would want to destroy their PR so hard.

>Forcing to make new games for a community that either is not dying or dissatisfied with cosmetic microtransactions of games.

Face it, developers had been trying to do wrong in which Valve has done right for years.

im pretty sure he changed his priorities now that he is older. he just buys shit now. food, drinks, drugs, hookers. he will do this until he dies

The money lead to slothfulness which is the real kicker.

Meh, not really.

I hate Valve so fucking much

>valve makes a new game
>new game gets shit all over because entitled gamers that e-protest
why would he want to

He's getting older

>just found out GoG has indie games now

welp, no reason to use them anymore I guess. They're search functionality is still fucked and I guess they'll never fix it.

Go to sleep, Gabe.

Why not? Not like they have any reputation left anyways.

Just hire people that actually care about videogames and help them realize their dreams.

You don't even have to worry about the money because you are Valve.

He only made games to sell his engine, he realized there is more money in other things, right now the only actual game stuff he is interested in is VR stuff.

Where at the point where if Value makes a new game and it is's anything short of perfection it will be shitted upon like he made this gen E.T

He probably read the Steam Forums and came to the conclusion that video game enthusiasts are fucking retarded.

You just answered your own question. They have too much money to need to give a fuck about PR or their fans.

Valve made some excellent games to sell his engine. You can't tell me no passion went into those.

Steam decided to use a communist like internal structure, where everyone can work on whatever they want.

This. If Valve were to make a game, that game would be a labor of love, because Valve doesn't need the money from selling their own games anymore. However, there are so many jealous subhumans out there, that no matter how good the game would, it would create a massive chimp out in the gaming """community""". It's simply not worth it, since their labor of love would not get any appreciation and there's no other reason for Valve to make new games.

I don't see why you don't just do both. Or let someone else do it. Literally no reason not to. But whatever. some people are just moody cunts who like to mess with others, probably due to them being bullied in school.

>communist
I'd really like to slap you for misusing terms like that.

He would create jobs, help the industry that fed him. In turn feel better about himself. No one can live without a purpose.
It doesn't matter whether its a hit or it flops, since Valve has no reputation anymore.

>I am a retard that doesn't understand the word communist.

>capitalism is based
>money corrupts everyone

???????????????????

The world isn't a giant hugbox, and I doubt the people working there would think that way. Take your own insecurities and get out of here, user.

>Communist

*Socialist. Please learn the difference.

That's like saying Michelangelo planned his painting of the Sistine Chapel with the intention of advertising his line of art supplies. There's easier ways to advertise a product than creating a masterpiece. Maybe Half Life isn't Michelangelo tier, but you get the idea.

No, it's better. 100 years from now the Sistine Chapel won't even be remembered, but people will still be playing Half Life.

>communist

It's called a flat organization structure. It pretty much never works, especially when your upper management is a fat lazy slob whose idea of work is to do damage control on reddit every now and again. I don't know why the tech companies keep making out like this structure works.

It's more of a commune rather than a socialist government.

The moment Valve were to release a game, this entire shithole would be filled iwth threads shitting on it, regardless of whether it would be good or bad. Gaben will not give you that satisfaction.

If a new game comes out, it'd have to be the new flagship to show off source 2. If it isn't HL3/Ep3 then fans will bitchmoan.
But they're too busy memeing with shitty gimmicks like VR accessories or licensing their current IPs to other people for cameo shit

>this entire shithole would be
And why would anyone care again? Sup Forums has always been a dumpster ground for subhumies.

that's anarchy, not communism lol

A commune is more like hippies. It's social, so they're socialists.

It's so true

It really makes me mad how corrupting it is, it unirilonically keeps me up at night sometimes

I dont care for money other than i need it to buy food and videogames and other tertiary luxuries that a young adult might enjoy

But like, goddamn, i have seen people fuck complete strangers over (take them into a courtroom or worse) for just a few grand, which is honestly a pittance for that level of shit

Flipside situation with big corporations, who have practically limitless wealth, do they really need an extra couple million so bad they need to fuck over consumers with bad practices and nickel and dime-y bullshit?

I mean look at EA, they're rolling in it but if they ever got to a point where they were going under, people would be rejoicing, they would have absolutely no goodwill left with which to turns things around in their dire hour of need

>le asshole of internet


newfags need to go and stay go.

He never cared about making games to begin with, in the past whenever he opened his big dumb mouth and talked about things he had no idea about, the fanbase found it "endearing". Now he slipped up and not even the best of PR could clean up the mess.

Like what?

Zun made games because the market lacked the games he'd want to play, so he got to making games he'd like to be playing. Cynicism is not an indicator of intelligence, user.

Like this.

What's the point?
He was inspired by Doom because the games was more popular than Windows itself but then steam still fail to attract gaming on linux
Then come along dota2 that literally change steam forever. It forced a lot of stuffs that kill tf2 free trading.

VR development is not fucking cheap. I’m as frustrated as much as anyone else about the lack of a new Half-Life but for crying out loud what Valve is doing is pretty important work.

>VR is a Meme
No VR is in its baby steps and will be fucking stellar in a decade. When everything comes together VR is the most amazing experience, Problem is that’s often only 10% of the time right now.

If EA shrank they would just be seen as the good guy again, like they were when Activision was top dog. People are too short sighted to remember their wrongdoings

>important work

Strapping screens to your face is not important work. If you want VR, work in neurotech and push against the ethical boundaries in science, not work for fucking toy makers for underage autistcs or cuckbook.

thats not how you make money dumbass

I don't think VR will be popular unless it comes in bundle with PC or it makes a software we can't live without.

Steam and hat simulators = easy, infinite money
Single-player games = hard, limited money

It really is that simple. And while Gabe isn't helping things, he's not solely to blame. Valve's management structure is flat, everyone does whatever the fuck they want. The only thing keeping people in line is peer reviews, and I imagine it's probably a circlejerk where everyone praises everyone else and never says anything significantly bad. Working at Valve must be really fucking nice, you can do whatever you want, at your own pace, and you get a good paycheck and good benefits. Working at EA is apparently nice as well. It's the sad realization that high quality work conditions don't necessarily lead to high quality products, at least when it comes to video games.

Yes, that's exactly the point I was making. They are not making "VR" to progress towards actual virtual reality or innovate anything, they are doing it to cash in and sell overpriced black boxes idiots will dig their heads into. I just hope you're not deluded enough to mistake someone else earning money for "important work".

I wonder what kind of mental illness make people always want more and more money, like they always feel the need to make more, even when they could retire and live from their money without having to work a single day, they feel the need to make more and more.

>people talking about PR with Valve
You mean the same company that took over a decade to finally get a support system for their platform?

The PR is the community of fanboys, but even those guys are starting to hate valve

>support system for their platform?

bait?

The same kind of mental illness that has people spending thousands of hours on repetitive tasks in videogames or repeatedly seeking sexual contact with a variety of partners, or gambling. Reward center stimulation, the easily exploitable part of our brain.

if you suck trumps dick you should know by now that money makes the whole world go round.
if you hate it fuck off back to commieland. USA is the land of the free and taking advantage of trends is part of that freedom.

Freedom motherfucker.

>(VR) will be fucking stellar in a decade
They say that every decade. This latest batch is not the first consumer VR shit to make the rounds.

>high quality work

First, Valve is not run like a normal business. There isn't a fucking boss that tells you what to do.

The only thing that matters is, "Doing what is best for Valve" and you get paid depending on how everyone else thinks, "Did you do what is best for Valve?"

So there's no fucking benefit for anybody to get it into their head to make a fucking game. Why take a risk on something that might be shit, like making video games, when you can do something for certain that will be good. Gabe can't fucking motivate someone to make the change, he's very much like the fucking Pope, everyone else has to buy into it as well. You got one guy who wants to make a game, well, good luck convincing other people, who want to get paid, of that.

I was playing ASSFAGGOTS and it updated at 11:00 local time Valve. That means that some poor fucker was up at that time working, fixing a fucking skin bug, because he wanted to get fucking paid. When Valve drops a patch, they don't fucking test it beforehand, you don't get any fucking credit for preventing a fire; but you DO get credit for letting the fire start and putting it out. And that's what happens every fucking time. They release a patch and everyone has their fucking coffee and energy drinks ready because that day is going to be fuck-up fire-extinguishing day and that day is when you can show everyone how fucking hard you work. The guy who takes a vacation that day doesn't get fucking paid because he wasn't a "team player".

I never said it's a bad thing, or that you shouldn't do it, you reactionary monkey. It said it's not benefiting VR and is not even close to what virtual reality is.

>gambling

>Dota 2
>CS:GO
>Artifact
>not games
When did this meme start? Is contrarianism the reason for this meme?

yes user, learn to read a whole post before replying

Do gamers even deserve Half-life 3? After CSGo I think not.

>There isn't a fucking boss that tells you what to do.

Can't believe pcbros still believe this shit

don't tell me what to do, you little weasel.

>CDPR internally is a hellscape which had to suffer under a vegan cafeteria and spits out burned out, destroyed staff constantly all of it heavily subsidized by polish tax shekels
>consistently top tier quality vidya

He didn't stop caring about making better games, he stopped caring about making games altogether.

>that word is filtered
>sonynniggers or sonyfags, or anything else related to consoles is not

this place went to shit, literally anonymous neogaf

CS:GO is a fucking dumpster fire. But thats what happens when people can't code for shit and makes a game where even the lowest little subhuman slav or russian can cheat.

It's mindboggling that people actually take esports seriously, with all the rampant cheating going around. Like the faggots that rides their bicycles up mountains in france, only to be disqualified afterwards for pumping themselves up with drugs. WOW WHAT A FUCKING SHOCKER.

>they shouldn't make a game because their feelings would be hurt!!!!

Fuck off.

...

What makes you think this? I bet you believe every single russian kid complaining about cheating when they die

youre crying about progressing mankind by making people do shit they dont want to do you little bitch. who the fuck do you think are? you dont control these peoples money, you dont control their freedom, youre just a poor fucking meme spouting rat that's only purpose is to become sheep.
Valve makes 3 billion dollars a year, every single day they make $120k in profits from TF2 alone. They love their life, its working for them, freedom is working for them. Too fucking bad about you, little bitchy holier than thou rat. Go create your own game company if you want to change the world so much

Because it's just games, not anything that matters. Who gives a shit?

Makes me think what?

...

kek

Jews

Spoken like a true autist, be sure to play the game before defending it just because its a valve game.

That
>it's a dumpster fire and every game has like 6 million cheaters lol

>drawings
>real children

retard

I have 1300 hours played and yet to notice this rampant cheating everywhere in Global Elite
Your point exactly?

It is a fucking dumpster fire. Prime didn't work, people cheat anyways. And the system in place doesn't help either, when you can just buy dirt-cheap accounts to cheat again.

Either make a country filter so people from the 1st world wont play with 3rd and 2nd worlders, or give up on the joke that is CS:GO. Everyone with a brain already did.

t. pedo living everyday with the fear that the government find his loli porn collection one day

>people will still be playing half life in 100 years
My guy the world was vastly different 100 years ago than it is now, you dont have a fucking clue what people in 100 years will be doing in their free time outside of fucking and doing drugs

>It's simply not worth it, since their labor of love would not get any appreciation
Fucking how? What? Pretty much every single one of their games have their dicks sucked dry from how much people love them.

Why in the ever living fuck would you think this would happen?

I know where you're coming from.

Cheating isn't a problem with DotA but communication is. Sometimes you can't just get a full team of 5 together and you'll get a random and it's some shitter who doesn't speak English even though you've specified you want to play with people who speak English.

It's not a problem if they were silent. But they're always typing or speaking in their retarded Spanish, and it's always Spanish. They're just constantly shitting up the screen with their bullshit. And sure, you can block them, but it would just be better if retards like that just were automatically filtered.

All they'd have to do is re-implement ping-based matchmaking. They fucking had it before, just bring it fucking back.

inb4 get more friends

>being a leaf

Why is money bad? I thought capitalism is based.

>based

While excellent at filling holes in potential markets, it isn't sustainable. Environmentally or economically.

>Cheating isn't a problem with DotA but communication is

Thats not the only problem, toxicity, almost all people with denning-krugger, retarded matchmaking and ranked system, people with a mental condition that never admit they did something wrong, lack of punishment, and other stuff is a problem, and if you dont see it you are part of the problem.

Are all americans autistic or just the one posting in Sup Forums?, loli porn is illegal in many states

I've played DotA for a very long time.

I draw the line at not being able to talk to people in the game. I don't care how fucking afflicted they are by Dunning Krueger, I want to know that when they're fucking cursing at me they understand at the very least that I understand what they're saying.

When you have some fucking retard cursing at you in some bullshit language not realizing that nobody fucking understands them and they keep on doing it, that's a special sort of offense that makes me realize and fully understand why people are fucking racist in this world.

He wasnt saying any of that. Read his words, dont assume you know what he is thinking, you look like a fucking retard when you do.

What about the new trust factor MM?

Youre bitching about muh billion dollar company isnt doing what i want. Its fucking clear to everyone.
Stop being a poor fucking Sup Forums meme spouting rat and get a job.
