Chet Faliszek, writer of many acclaimed Valve games, has quashed rumours that the company was in the midst of an acquisition by Korean game publishers Nexon and NCsoft
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.
Valve has officially warned against inhaling the Steam Deck vent fumes in an official response due to potential health hazards.
Wow people will huff anything nowadays some people just have way too much time on their hands.
Another reason to love the PlayStation Portal, no chance of breathing in noxious vapors.
Get a Steam Deck they said, to which I reply, what are you high?
Why would they sell?Valve is making too much profit.
I wouldn't have even commented on this if I where a member of Valve, just another b.s. story on the internet.
This is true because they are selling to me.
The thought is laughable. NCSoft already crushed City of Heroes like it was nothing (subject for closure in November). Their business decisions are far too unusual for non-Asian developers.
If Valve Software sold, every single gamer out there would seriously HATE them... I would be leading the rage to their office with an AXE in hand wanting Gabe's head (LOL).
Gabe has done an amazing job with Valve. The company started out as a developer... they were doing just great with their library of games. But with the successful development and implementation of Steam, they are their own publisher. Valve Software is a success story that should be left alone to operate.
