    Maleficent got a sword through the heart, Evil Queen died in a rockslide she was trying to cause, Cruella DeVille drove off the road - only Jafar survived his movie but I think he was killed in the Aladdin sequel somehow.

    If Maleficent has a daughter, who fucked Maleficent?

    Whoever she wanted.

    gabe has said they arent making hl3 atm because not enough people at valve could work out a vision for the game that was sufficiently good to get them to make it

    That sounds like horseshit.

    Ok...

    I just work at a call center (helpdesk, whatever).

    But, in my professional history, I've been fired a few times. For being late, for not getting shit done, y'know, dumb kid stuff.

    I have an issue with... like, I kinda feel the same way about AstroBase GO! not being able to write their fucking cartoon for two years, I feel like maybe this is their job, right?

    Sure, you guys are making fucktons of dollars distributing other people's awesome shit. But, really, shouldn't you guys be making games?

    Isn't there a a person who, some mornings, walks into their job at Valve Software and says, "Hey, everybody, we gonna makes some fuckin vidyagame today!!?" Just, like... kinda disappointed that they landed a gig at a really cool company known for making a few of the best-loved games ever, and there's no game-making? Just... hats...

    I mean, what's this "no vision" shit? Hire a creative person! Ya know! Like you're supposed to be, Newell!

    cs go is hidden path mainly

    tf2 is a zillion years old and its not like theyre making anything for it

    dota2... lol

    valve was a company that released a shitload of gud games

    even when they were making l3d and shit people had boners

    now its just like hay gusy

    Hidden Path has not worked on csgo since it was launched

    Tf2 is actually getting major updates now apparently

    Dota has obviously been pretty massive

    But yeah they deffo hasn't made much new shit in forever, just maintining existing communities and games

    I have no idea about the financing structure that Valve maintains and whether or not they have to keep GAAP financials for creditors but holy hell their revenue recognition policy must be several god damn pages long. God, that'd be such a shitshow to audit.

    Being private means they do all sorts of funky things too I think.
    I mean there all sorts of ways they can measure their revenues internally but they can't get too shitshowy with that otherwise it's like, WHAT IS REAL

    Bad News: Getting transferred out of advanced stream into straight BSc.

    Good News: That doesn't matter for my courses this semester and if I do well enough I can transfer back before 1st semester next year when it will matter.

    you know what Half-Life 3 will be?

    Great.

    You know why?

    Because it didn't get halfassed and rushed out just to please the shitty shitty crying crowd.

    Do you not remember how Half-Life 2 blew your mind to pieces? Half-Life 3 will most likely do the same. When it's ready.

    Half-Life 3 is literally never coming out. It's not a joke. The time is past, it's not going to happen anymore.

    i think it could potentially be a vr game eventually

    they want it to be a paradigm shift etc

    I stopped playing TF2 a while ago, but yeah they seem to not know what they're doing with balance updates, and I'm not really a fan of the PvE modes. Remember that time when the Enforcer was blatantly broken for over a year?

    Like 2+ years ago steam was talking up competitive matchmaking and using that for analytics, &c &c

    At the last update they were still like, announcing that as a plan they had to do someday

    They just plainly seem to be uninterested in devoting any more resources to TF2
