It all is just a pure speculation based on believe that Valve are actually interested in profiting from making games based on disruptive technology (innovator's dilema). Yep, HL1 was the first major fps with a deep meaningful story, HL2 was enhanced version of it with emotionally capable...

I consider my opinion valuable - so people should definitely see it more often :finger:

So basically they've come up with game design where you're standing on a small platform for the entire game and the world is moving / changing around you. It's like the next level of dumping down - first consoles killed aiming, now VR is going to kill the movement. Good job.

Alyx with flashlight fighting headcrabs and other spooky monsters in the world of industrial decay, rusty metal and toxic smoke.

It would be really great to read memoirs of core Valve's departured employees (V. Antonov, T. Backman, etc.) 10-20 years later, after Valve's inevitable future demise. They would really go in lengths how internal company culture was toxic to productivity and how flat structure and "voting with...

Gabe's talks are no longer relevant. Valve: "We used to make games, now we're making money."

GameDev industry is known to have the most hate-centric relationships between consumers and developers. This thread shows no improvement in that regard.

Donations don't do shit, nobody is donating when the stuff is available for free. Out of 100 people asking for a donation button there will be probably just 1 who ever clicks it. Your mod can be downloaded over million times and you can still get just $100 in donations. It's ok if you intended...
