Competitors such as Blizzard Entertainments Diablo III, Bethesdas The Elder Scrolls: Skryim, NCSofts Guild Wars 2 & DICEs Battlefield 3 could not best Valves upcoming project, from mod to standalone game, Dota2.
Over the course of Gamescom 2011, IGN was running the People's Choice Award, giving you the chance to vote for your favourite game of the show - whether you were there in Cologne or not.
Fan projects Team Fortress: Source 2 and Portal 64 have shut down after Valve intervened in their development.
First they open Steam up to more AI, now they are shutting down fan projects when at one time they used to support or even give the fans jobs.
Wonder what's going on with Valve at the minute.
There's potential that Valve had already planned to bring Source 2 to TF2 officially after Counter Strike 2. It's been getting some renewed attention lately.
You got Nintendo to thank for Portal64 being taken down. As for TF2, most likely it's due to the probability of Valve working on a source 2 port themselves. It's sucks but Nintendo are the biggest pricks in the business and not letting this drag out into a huge court drama is the best decision.
Valve has updated its stance on AI games on the Steam storefront, allowing creators to publish AI-created games.
Hell no. I want games that have been made by creative minds who have a passion for their craft, not a bot with a penchant for plagiarism.
So instead of paying for an engine and assets to create a game they are paying for an engine and assets to create a game.
From beefy tanks to powerful carries, these are the best Strength heroes in Dota 2's Turbo Mode.
So BF3 was in the lead and DOTA2 magically gained millions of votes over night? Good job IGNnorant baboons.
Somebody hacked this shit. All the PC games came the closest to winning.
Well deserved Imo.
They had a magnificent showing of the game, and the fact that they showed the game by hosting the biggest tournament in gaming history before anybody had even seen the game (except for the teams that got early beta, and the valve developing team).
