Develop-Online: Significant improvements coming to the tech, but Valve won’t join engine licensing fray
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?
I posted this interview 5 mins ago....
Do they not realize it's hardly the pinnacle of graphics any more?
I think Valve are more focused and concerned on the Gameplay rather than the graphics.
I like their source engine :)
Anyone who need better graphics than the source engine at max settings is a graphics whore.
imo the source engine as seen in Half life 2 still topples over many of the graphics in games we see today. its one of the most versatile and refined engines out there, at least that is what I can infer from all the community created content spawning from it. SOurce engine 2 for all I care can come out with Half life 3, way way way in the future, because the source engine right now is still one of the best out there
