Nearly all of Valve's senior creative staff- writers, game environment designers, concept artists, Source engine lead programmers, lead game designers, etc.- have been trickling out since sometime around Portal 2's launch, when Valve realized they could just pump out DOTA 2/CSGO cosmetics for eternity without having to actually put effort into making games. Steam will probably be around long after we die, but what really made Valve Valve is basically all gone. The Valve that brought us HL2 and TF2 and the L4D and Portal games had no chance of making HL3 anywhere near great enough to live up to the massive hype behind it. What chance does the Valve that brought us CSGO and DOTA 2 have? People really need to move on. The Metro games are better than Half Life 3 would have been. Vermintide is better than Left 4 Dead 3 would have been. Other developers, like Respawn, are using the Source engine more effectively than Valve is at this point. If Valve wants to cater to people with MOBA brain disease for max profit margins, that's their business. People who want to play games that are actually decent are free to look elsewhere.

Yeah, everybody who made half life half life is not even there. The last paragraph of that story is laidlaw saying he knows noone at valve anymore. I disagree that fresh blood is worthless, hell thats insane potential, but they wont be able to make half life 3 meaningful (i doubt even the old staff could) and should be put to making something interesting instead of dota card games Also i think the wheelie desk thing has lead to a lot of the issues in modern day valve, like noone wanting to curate greenlight or do steam support

Also, im still amazed how polished and coherent portal 2 is given that its made by what amounts to sheep herding themselves when they feel like it

https://www.polygon.com/2017/5/16/15622366/valve-gabe-newell-sales-origin-destructive this is pretty good at putting things in perspective while were on the subject. this is one of the worst bitsquote:Talented 3D artists surged out of the woodwork, and the airwaves were saturated with feel-good stories of creators making very decent, livable wages off the sales of Demoman swords, machine gun skins and wacky couriers.
