They need to fire whoever turned the Steam software into a bloated piece of shit.
Opt into the beta client. Just today they updated it and it's like 10x faster. It doesn't freeze up simply by clicking on it anymore.

And what is their source?
L4D2 was made by Valve and even L4D was heavily supervised. Giving Turtle Rock credit is like giving credit to the myriad of awful development houses that made good games for Nintendo. It's not a coincidence their one standout game occurred when it did.

If Valve wants to get out of making games, fine, I guess. I'll miss them, as they've made some of my favorite games of all time, but Steam is a great service and if they want to devote more of their time to it and other non-game projects, I can deal. But they can't just leave Half Life where it is now, with that ridiculously tense cliffhanger. That needs to be resolved in some form. It's just cruel otherwise.
Either way, Gabe needs to make some sort of announcement about what's happening. People are losing their minds.

Uhh,
Left 4 dead
Left 4 dead 2
Portal 2
DOTA 2
TF2 events and expansions?
how the fuck 5 huge games in 7 years are "the occasional project"? like WHAT THE FUCK?!
The ones they don't care about don't count obviously. Especially Left 4 Dead 1 and 2. Totally didn't count.
Don't forget Counter-Strike: GO too!
Once again, they have released a game a year for the last 5 years.
They identified serious layoffs when we knew only about one.
We now know this is much more and more outside of just hardware/android.
I'll go with them over you thanks. Their sources are their sources and those sources have held up to the actual facts so far.
They said that people were fired from the hardware section. Not that they shut it down. We dont know if these people worked on steambox or alternate controllers or what. You are pretending you know more than you actually do.

Should I start backing up my steam games?
Holy shit! The beta really is a ton faster.
Valve doesn't just make things because they feel obliged to. They make things because they're inspired to as a group.
If they're that tight-knit why were these poor performers allowed to skate for so long?

Either Valve is a real mess or Gabe just don't cares. Probably both. It makes you really appreciate what big companies like Ubisoft / EA do, they actually release games of popular series on a regular basis.
Holy shit! The beta really is a ton faster. Thanks, SteveWinwood!
Why do you assume their performance was poor all along?
Man, I just read your tag-post, both original/Borat and amended versions, you deserve a Pulitzer or something!
The fuck are you talking about?
lolI posted this in the other thread, but feel it's relevant:

Because they like games like Dota 2 and Tf2 and with the great content creation model, free high quality games and constant updates?
Or 3rd alternative, which is the true one.
They figured they wanted to truly innovate the genre if they were going to release Half Life 3. Having failed to come up with anything groundbreaking, they shelved the release for later.
I have a feeling it will make an appearance with the next generation source engine.

Valve threads are the best/worst.
It's a disappointing as a fan of the series, especially where it left off.
MP only games. If that's your thing, more power to you.
It's not the Valve I used to love.
This thread has been more fun than a Nintendo DirectReally goes to show how little respect this industry gets. When things were tough the government had no problem bailing out car manufacturers who pump out nothing but inefficient gas guzzling suv's or banks who steal their customers money as everyday business, but an interactive entertainment company that leads in its industry and provides joy to millions out of the goodness of their hearts? Nope. Nothing. The suits don't care so no bailout for Valve, even though they deserve it more than the others. Hopefully those who lost their jobs find work soon.
Thanks Obama

Valve's writer Kosmatka said:I have no idea why I'm still up at 3:58AM. Tomorrow is going to be a rough one.
What a crazy day it has been. #fb
