Noble Press: Following this week’s patch, that introduces Slark into the Dota 2 roster, Valve slipped in a surprise. In the OS X version of Steam you are now eligible to download the “Test” client for Dota 2. This means that we might see a Mac version of the game tomorrow or possibly later this month.
Currently this version of Dota 2 does not work. When attempting to boot into the game Steam will give you the error message bellow.... [read article for image]
I would not delete my BootCamp partition just yet. As software usually goes we might have to wait a version or two before we see a fully stable version of the Dota 2 client for OS X. Then again it is Valve and they have a great track record with developing cross platform content.
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.
I mean, that might explain the Team Fortress 2 thing, because Valve might bring that to Source 2 (though I'm not sure I'd bet on that), but I can't see how Portal 64 hurts them. If anything, it's more attention to the Portal and therefore Valve/Steam.
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.
