(Lengthy) Interview with Gabe Newell and why Valve doesn't suck

[TakeNoPrisoners]

Looks like he hasn't missed many meals, probably has a happy meal somewhere under the pile.

He always looks like that.

The weed won't help.

What good is a Valve interview that has no mention of Episode 3?

How about bug fixes for left 4 dead 2?

Its gotten to the point where valve only releases tf2 updates.

DOTA will be valves next little pet project, will probably be relased with a bunch of bugs, support will be dropped for the next 2+ years while they work oin their next project, which will be released with bugs, support will be dropped while valve works on next pet project.

There have been bugs in l4d2 since its release almost 2 years ago. For the most part, those l4d2 bugs have been ignored by valve in favor of more tf2 updates.

tf2 - still getting tons of support and update years after release
l4d - dropped support and no new content
l4d2 - no bug fixes
HL3 - ????
CS:GO
DOTA

It seems to me that Valve has turned its back on its fans. Where is half-life 3? Where are bug fixes for anything besides tf2? And then we have CS:GO coming out in 2012.

Is CS:GO and DOTA going to go the same route as L4D/L4D2? As soon as the game is released, no more bug fixes?

Valve is turning into a sucky company.

Don't inline entire articles like that. That's a copyright issue.

I'm just wondering what's in that box from Grizzly Industrial - new drill-press maybe? :sneaky:

It says G8027 Dust Collector on the box.

Looks like . . . weed to me.

That would explain his weight issue, but should actually lend itself to the generation of storylines for EP3. Ergo, I'm all for it.

It is for all the cheeto crumbs around his chair.

I'm not a "huge fan", but they're one of my favorite companies related to gaming and I'm happy to give them my money for this same reason.


Only took one post

Left 4 dead 2???

Unless this interview has the words "Half Life 3 will be coming holiday 2011" then he's a f'ing liar

Forget HL3, I want L4D2 bug fixes.
