I could see valve eventually handing over licenses to make sequels to TF, L4D and HL to third party small developers to quietly make said games. They'd make money on both ends and only have to manage the contract instead of the work, plus they could NDA everything up pretty tight and if the game sucks in the eyes of Valve, they can strangle it and move on

Pretty much. Nintendo did that to some extent with Metroid as collaborations, and was able to brush off negative reception from Metroid: Other M. Of course, we also got Federation Force with comparable salt. The upcoming Metroid II: RoS remake is developed by a Spanish company under Nintendo's supervision.

He would be a race card.

I could actually imagine G-Man saying that with elongated "S" sounds and awkward pauses.
 
And no one seems to care about getting a new Portal game :(. I don't mind if it's a spinoff. Just another fun puzzle-platformer please. Hell, there's a fucking Talos Principle 2 in the works iirc.

That almost happened, actually! It's somewhat well known that they gave permission to both Arkane studios and a team lead by Warren Spector to both make their own HL2 episodes- Episode 4 and an untitled project respectively. EP4 got cancelled presumably to focus on The Crossing (another source engine title by Arkane that got canned) before moving on to make Dishonored, and Warrens company got bought out by disney and so had to scrap everything as a result.

The fandom already filled that gap with a shitload of their own ideas. They're in the workshop.
 
Lets be honest, if this game has microtransactions in it (prolly does) this is a much better business move than just releasing a singleplayer game that has reached unquenchable levels of hype.

No one will be happy either way.

Alternatively they could put microtransactions in hl3...

Why does Valve think it's going to take over the already bloated CCG videogame market? It's more bloated than the MOBA market. And the reveal shows people are kinda pissed. I'm wondering who was the guy who thought this was the best idea ever. Seems like a really stupid move to me.

Because they're Valve, and even if the fanboys are whining people still suck their dicks even if all they do now is make a game and then hibernate for a decade.

Remember the Steam(ing pile of shit) Machine?

And for this, we never get to learn what happened after Eli died.

Fuck you, Valve!

Eid Nebag Eid!



Much better to just get a cut of everyone else's gambles.

Those other suckers can win or lose, they don't care. They get their cut either way.

Valve is at its core now the boss of a casino, rather than being one of the players. It's hard to criticize their strategy, since the boss always wins, but it still pisses me off that some good games they could have made didn't get made.

They're a smarter Konami at this point, though.

I thought Deagle Nation brought him home from Israel already?
 
Valve isn't going to get going on the releasing of, let alone developing, Half Life 3 anytime soon. From the news over the years, it's clear that Valve had no clue as what to do with the franchise. Most of the staff that worked on those games are gone from Valve, and what they've said has merely reinforced the previous point. Combine that with the cash cow that TF2, Left for Dead franchise, DOTA2, and the Counterstrike series created for Valve, and suddenly they have no reason to develop games beyond improving/breaking those franchises, because that, alongside Steam, is where Valve's money is made.
 
I'm just wondering when the Valve-copying-Blizzard Ouroboros is going to eat its tail as an Overwatch clone is developed called "Team Fortress 3"
 
I noticed a lot of people in that /v/ thread talking about how this apparently spells the end for Valve:

There was this especially autistic argument over concurrent user metrics:

I haven't been to 4chan in like half a decade, I forgot about the arguments made entirely out of meme arrows. God bless those sweet summer children.

At this point, they'd need to design a whole new engine and that wouldn't be economical unless they also made it the basis of not just one, but multiple franchises. Which they also aren't going to do. Anything using the now-outmoded Source engine (HL2E2 more or less pushed that to the edge of its potential) is going to look clunky and dumb.

As much as it sucks, they're better abandoning it than producing some shit like Duke Nukem Forever.

They should at least just have the balls to admit that's what they're doing, though.
