Gabe Newell ponders the future in new Half-Life 2 documentary: 'I think that Half-Life represents a tool we have and promises made to customers'
Newell wants Valve to "capitalize on innovation and opportunities to build game experiences that haven't been involved previously."
I watched the documentary, it was surprisingly extremely interesting
They made a pretty big promise in Alyx, which he acknowledged in the documentary. It's also been about 5 years since Alyx was announced and released around the Game Awards, so given that promise that they made 5 years ago, maybe this year is the year.
When is this guy going to start wearing a turtle neck? Yeah, he's been capitalizing alright, enough to own 1 billion dollars worth of mega yatchs.
How about he promises to stop raping the industry with his buddies at Microsoft, Sony and Nintendo.
This is such a shit take, I just have to assume it's ragebait.
Nuclear waste, bury in the desert for 10,000 years level take.
"Simp squad, UNITE!
Hurry guys, we have to protect daddy Gaben. This heretic must know how shit his opinion is. Be sure to be clever! We know its actually impossible to defend billionaires with logic so just insult the comment itself!"
Imagine defending a man that spends 100 million a year on yatch maintenance.
30% of all the money you spend on games goes directly to Gabens Greed Fund, and you clap. Gross.
Bold move, saying Valve isn't the only company in the whole world that actually loves their customers!
RedditLemmy hive mind is incapable of accepting such a thought.Would you ever say the same thing if I was being critical of Bezos or Musk.
The fact is Steam is the only company that benefits from an army of simps ready to defend Gaben at the slightest hint of negativity.
This article is literally a puff piece.
Are you sure I'm the one part of the hive mind, with my 36 downvotes? Your comment is very ironic.
Say that again but this time put some stank on it.
"It was easy to think about VR being a vehicle for Half-Life because that was a big technological innovation and kind of a core reason for that product's existence," said Valve engineer Brian Jacobson. "And I think one of the things we have internally tended to attach to the Half-Life IP is innovation. Gameplay innovation is often enabled by technological innovation. Clearly there was a ton in Half-Life 1 and 2.
"It's an interesting challenge moving forward to think about what that means for future Half-Life stuff, for sure," Jacobson added.
Fuck. That.
If your 'innovation' requires nonstandard and expensive hardware, create a new franchise for it.
Don't fucking lock out people who played previous games on run-of-the-mill computer.
