Some months ago he made a video saying that he knows he is a laughing stock in several gaming communities, but he keeps going because he doesn't have anything better to do. At some point I was just like him, but I lost my faith in Valve almost a decade ago.

Ah yes that must by why Gabe's son got full access to the completely finished engine to develop his game on.

I honestly do believe we'll see a real Valve game at some point, it's just a matter if anyone will truly care. I'd only be mildly happy if HL3 were announced now, it's been so long that there's diminishing returns

what?

At this point it's the only thing keeping them afloat.

Gabe's son is making a game, he went to Valve to use Source 2 for obvious reasons. Source 2 was in development hell and he couldn't get anywhere with it:

Liberals, on a whole, are more open to creative concepts, while conservatives tend to have an intense dislike of anything, media included, that goes against traditional Judeo-Christian ideals. This leads to SJWs playing video games, and anti-SJWs not playing them.

Ironically, your use of “NPC” as an insult just serves as further proof of conservatives’ misunderstanding of video games. Although NPCs can be antagonistic, NPCs can also provide useful items or quests and give valuable support to the player. If conservatives truly appreciated video games, you would know the importance of NPCs and not view the term as inherently negative.

I honestly kind of wonder whats going through his head. If he seriously thinks Valve will pull through, I envy how optimistic he is. If he knows its kind of a joke I feel bad for how long he's been lead on.

They've been supposedly working on games for ages if VNN's leaks are true, they just never go anywhere because of problems like choosing between using Source 2 or switching to UE4, or office politics and shit like that. And they technically don't need to worry about ever having to release a product, they can waste as much money as they want and switch to a new team whenever they feel like they don't want to work there anymore.

I don't even want to think about the looming monstrosity that is China. To think Valve being shit, and Ubi, Actiblizz, and EA being themselves was the worst it could get.

that depends if you count the truckloads they make from CS:GO and Dota 2 as part of Steam.

Probably done with the Knuckles and don't need all those extra people to make revisions.

Gameplay overly reliant on RNG and a completely awful business model

the company that invents free to play....makes you pay for game. HMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMM

I'll put it as simply as I can so I don't spend too much time discussing this dead game that I've already discussed to death in other threads but it basically comes down to this.
The game is too reliant on RNG making it not-fun for the players because they are rarely ever in control of their actions. The "best" strategies are to try and manipulate the game's RNG to your advantage, and none of the actual card mechanics are interesting in any way. In the end it's a game that's not only not-fun, but also takes into account no skill from the player to win. It's a piece of shit. Maybe it could be fixed but in its current state it is deeply flawed.

I can't believe VR is fucking dead.

This. Fucking hell.

Popularity is not a measure of quality, unless you’re willing to admit Fortnite is one of the greatest games ever made. Try again.

Phantom draft is free and provides potential access to every single card, with you on equal footing with your opponent since you built the deck the same way. You can also earn free packs by playing, and you get ten packs at the start. But none of this matters to me at all, as I already own a complete card collection.

Try again.

There was a valve employee on Yea Forums a few months ago. He said valve were ALL IN ON VR. He claimed the valve VR division was the biggest investment in the company. This news if true is fucking pathetic.

VALVE has zero fucking management of their company and let's shit fly in the air. The employee also said valve were scared shitless of Facebook.

My guess is Facebook just shit all over valves VR in progress and they are going to can it now. What a fucking failure of a company. I really hope the fucking chinks make valve panic with the epic store.

Worst part is steam is the slowest, most resource heavy, most buggy launcher right now. Valve is so fucking shit they can't even get their DRM working.

user, anyone with that much power in the company doesn't even give a shit

The worst part is that the rumor seems completely accurate judging by recent events. I don't know how Valve naturally came to the conclusion to invest so heavily in VR when the accessories are still out of reach for the average consumer, there's barely any good games for it, and the good games that exist on it have their VR features locked to console like RE7. I wonder if Valve would still exist today if Steam was niche or never took off.

they should be paying me $20, i just dont have the experience.

honestly i like my job because my super and manager are smart,competent people and they dont micromanage. i'm also willing to accept lower wage because theyre paying for my certification course that only a few people in the company have.

i may be able to afford a better apartment and even VR.

>Jumanji: Welcome to the Jungle (ensemble cast of two POCs, a woman, and a Jewish man)
>Guardians of the Galaxy Vol. 2 (positive depiction of non-traditional parenting)

>Aquaman (POC lead)
>It (based on a book by a vocal critic of Donald Trump)
>Deadpool 2 (pansexual main character with supporting lesbian couple)

>Despicable Me 3 (evolutionism)
>Justice League (contains a woman and two POCs)
>Logan (glorification of immigration)
>The Fate of the Furious (POC lead)
>Mission Impossible Fallout (contains Alec Baldwin, who mocks Trump regularly)

Meanwhile, the least woke movie of the same timeframe, Dinesh D’Souza’s Death of a Nation, was a commercial failure.

I'm actually a little shocked to hear that there are still people who call themselves Valve fans and who are still holding out for a real game.

so what was this team for ?

If the company ever gets around to imploding from within I expect no less than 3 documentaries about what went wrong.

Not him. But why are you defending a game with no fucking players. There is only 4k players max daily playing. There is more people playing age of empires 2 than artifact.

Nah, Valve did basically all of it.
The base stations were entirely Valve, same with the controllers and the software.
HTC was originally just a production partner before creating the mess that is viveport and the disaster that will be their future hardware.

Hope the result was worth it for Gabe. Not like there's dozens of other VR devices available to choose from and it's not like VR is basically a niche market with nothing but tech demos.

Valve is/were working on their own VR Headset.

They just brought Diablo to GoG, they're always based.

It was about 50/50 for each engine.
So everyone just fizzled out of the project. A company with an actual hierarchy could simply decide for everyone, but nope.

Is that top left device a braap sniffer?

They didn't buy shit, Blizzard just decided to put the game there to try to milk even more of a dead franchise.

Because I fucking love Artifact and will defend its honor against all the ghouls who know nothing but blind hatred.

thanks to valve's corporate structure, just about everyone has probably deserted that project by now

it will probably remain a nigh-derelict project until gaben gets mad and either kills it or throws his weight around and revives it

As someone that played it day 1 I have no idea what is wrong with you. The game does nothing better than any of the competitors. It even has more rng than hearthstone and less depth. The 3 board system is a failure as 90% of games have you fight for 1 board as RNG fucks you of one board and good RNG getting you a good board.

Draft is actually the worst part of the game... Sad. A since the game has zero synergy or any depth draft is simply grabbing the best cards.

Your taste is terrible. I rather play magic, hearthstone, shadow verse or even elder scrolls.

where's the sadist, people like me who get severe pleasure from seeing valve shit the bed like the retards they are?

I'm not sure if I hate how deluded he is or if I envy his optimism towards a franchise that will never finish AND a company that went downhill.

Good, I hope Gabe dies too. Valve has done more damage to gaming than any other company.

I don't understand why you state that every time someone mentions Proton in every thread.

It's nice that Valve is helping some games to run in Wine, but if you take a look at the list of gold/platinum games, it's all old games with the odd one like the witcher 3.
And like I said, once the devs get tired of this fad, which judging by Valve's historic it's just a matter of time, they will abandon it, move to the next trend, and "linux gamers" will be cucked from new games, again.

Hey Tyler, do you just have a really autistic sense of investigative journalism or do you have insiders you know at valve?

>t. not Valve employee

Also real talk: the reason I think valve fired half their VR staff is because they've realized VR at its current stage is a gimmick. They will offer tech like gloves and shit but until we get holodeck, cheap consumer friendly AR/VR mixed reality HMDs, or full on BCIs with Sword Art Online-esque fulldive VR they realize the current state of VR is Wii-tier minigame gimmicks that audiences are not adopting.

Yeah, Valve is bought the studio that made Firewatch and is currently publishing their next title. They probably bought the Boneworks VR devs as well.

Makes sense, every "new" IP under Valve that's not a multiplayer based, F2P, mtx trending thing is an indie game or from an indie studio. Which is par for the course for Valve since the company's inception.

>At this point fast food is the only thing keeping McDonald's afloat

I see absolutely no reason why he would lie about something as big as this only one time in the middle of one of his streams, especially when what he said fits everything the current profile of Valve and Laidlaw's sudden retirement / epistle 3.

ive met so many edgelord virgins like you in real life. Every fucking one of them was a grotesque, filthy neckbeard. Please better yourself.

>Valve is worse than EA
Yeah no, fuck off with pushing this meme EA. You will always be the worst Jews in the industry.

How the fuck is this triggering people lmao, it's completely true.

Because he's a faggot that has been doing nothing but wild and inaccurate assumptions for years.
Fuck you Tyler.

Not him but they've hired a community manager from Chucklefish a while back and I'll let you know she has no development OR PR skills whatsoever. About a month later she was having some sort of community gathering with members of the company about gender equality or something like that according to her twitter

I don't give a shit about politics but I really don't like the way she managed the Starbound forums or Starbound's development during the beta, so seeing her at Valve really pissed me off as pathetic as that sounds.
Hell I see no reason as to why she was hired in the first place, since Valve does not do any sort of PR or marketing.

To think if they had just made phantom drafts F2P they would have another successful title and keep their reputation as batting 1.000

I would like for nothing else for shit like the brain interface Valve's making to be a dirty lie made by him but everything points to it being real

Brain interface?

>tfw still enjoying TF2 and occasionally CS:GO, or even DoD (which is still populated by a good hundred or so autists who keep the game running)
Valve hasn't destroyed their franchises, they just stopped making them due to laziness.

Keep things in perspective here, this isn't a case of something like the Battlefield series where EA churns out a new fucking more awful iteration of the series every year and shuts down server support for the old one while migrating the playerbase across.

If you don't give Valve money for it, and can find a good community server like I did (or put up with the minor annoyances of casual), TF2 is still a great, totally playable game. The best FPS on the market, even.

Brain-Computer Interfaces: One Possible Future for How We Play

>While a speculative technology at the present time, advances in Brain-Computer Interface (BCI) research are beginning to shed light on how players may interact with games in the future. While current interaction patterns are restricted to interpretations of mouse, keyboard, gamepad, and gestural controls, future generations of interfaces may include the ability to interpret neurological signals in ways that promise quicker and more sensitive actions, much wider arrays of possible inputs, real-time adaptation of game state to a player's internal state, and qualitatively different kinds of gameplay experiences. This talk covers both the near-term and long-term outlook of BCI research for the game industry but with an emphasis on how technologies stemming from this research can benefit developers in the present day.

It's very very early in development but they want to make a chip you can install in your brain to play games with since it would be a lot easier to make experiences out of than any VR set. Gabe's son told Tyler IIRC

>Estimated value based on estimated value of his company

Okay retard, are you sure it's not a headbad? Because you have to be a fucking idiot to think they expect people to get brain surgery to play their games

at this point 90% of the staff is probably just a skeleton crew maintaining steam.

Inside sources here.

Valve is moving employees to work on their secret VR project in a satellite company Stress Level Zero. Bone Work is actually HL3's new engine and they are trying to hurry it up.

I was aware of who VNN was but the only video I have ever watched of his was the Hunt Down the Freeman stream and holy shit you could actually FEEL his mind deteriorating on-screen.

I think he even went nuclear at one point about how he just didn't even care anymore because he was wasting his life on a company who does fucking nothing and doesn't care about their fans anymore. That was a completely broken man right there. Fuck I gotta watch that stream again.

Wouldn't it be nice if Gaben got up off his fucking ass and fired all the retards inside the company responsible for all this internal high school-like bitching and infighting that stops anything from getting done?

Two separate Glassdoor reviews now have pointed out that nothing gets done at Valve because
>the "popular kids" will shut down your project/pull strings to get funding cut if they don't like it or don't like you, there are no formal bosses but the people who bitch behind your back have a lot of power
>EVERYONE has to vote on hiring decisions, leading to many people not getting hired at all because they don't fit Valve's "culture" according to the popular kids
>Pay is mostly based on bonuses, so you get rewarded for working on the highest profile current meme project rather than anything actually useful
>One of the aforementioned "popular kids" actually said "communication is not a part of Valve's culture or we would have started doing it a long time ago"

Why are the epic shills so weird itt
It's like they're trying to tap into some hype or support that isn't on Yea Forums

>it was a people thing
So they were fuckups?

Valve deserves a slow, painful death. Valve is the equivalent of starving for 10 years then Gordon Ramsay becomes your personal chef for cheap for 10 years making amazing food for you and all your friends then he stops making good food but makes a dish that only autistic 12 year old children like but still hangs out and you still pay him but he doesn't do anything except curse everyone except the 12 year olds. He teases you a bit but never follows through until finally he keeps going on about how he's creating his favorite dish for you based on inspiration he stole from somewhere else, and then it comes out and everyone hates it so he gets mad and yells at everyone yet still makes nothing of any value.

Recording my dreams has always been a thing I wanted to do.
Until google and faceberg showed up and taught us that user privacy is not a real concept.

kek stress level zero is just the hover junker/duck season devs
Node is part of the team ffs

good VR is shit

VR is never going to be a thing
I don't know why people keep trying to do shit with it
Didn't Gabe himself admit it was shit and it was probably going to remain shit?

It's literally one guy, his posting style is very obvious after you get used to it.
He always disappears and makes a new thread once people call him out.

oh and as a result of point 2, Valve is enormously understaffed to the point they have ONE EMPLOYEE DOING THE JOB OF 100 PEOPLE.

and that isn't an exaggeration, compare their workforce (~300) to any other vidya company of their scope (3 major games and a digital distribution platform plus other projects)

>Because you have to be a fucking idiot to think they expect people to get brain surgery to play their games
this is the same company that thought unregulated paid mods, a 600$ headset with no games, and the steam machines would be successful

I'm not referring to their decision making dumbass, I mean brain chips are just logistically impossible

>Nintendo sees VR as the fancy toy it is
BASED

They ruined TF2 with paid lootboxes and F2P shit. CSGO is also complete cancer where item trading is more important than the actual game. Even Steam itself is a microtransaction economy now. The early access bullshit has gotten out of control and now the Steam store is riddled with softcore trash and half-finished piles of shit because fuck it, stupid kids will spend money on it. Some fucking random Chinese garbage is now suddenly a legitimate threat to Steam, that's how pathetic they've gotten. And why will they spend money on it? Because Valve is BASED! They made Hat Simulator 2! The Cake is a Lie! For fuck's sake, half the people here don't even want HL3 because they realize that HL2 was a mediocre game with primary focus on fancy graphics and storytelling. Most TF2 players never played the game before it was F2P or before lootbox weapons. And they let all this shit slide because it's okay when Valve does it. It's okay when Valve releases an nearly-identical sequel to a game a year later. It's okay when most of Portal 2 is a walk and talk on rails. It's okay when Valve makes lootboxes and microtransactions. It's okay when Valve stops making games completely except for some half-assed card game that's a huge fucking flop and scammed people out of money. It's okay when they let great franchises die because hey, they're such a cool hipster company where everyone can work on whatever they want! Even if that means nothing actually gets finished because every single person just makes a quick hat or skin based on the latest internet meme and calls it a day. They have been dogshit for YEARS and nobody gave a single fuck because it's okay when Valve does it. They turned all of PC gaming into a microtransaction trading store, and you faggots act surprised that zoomers think it's okay to shell out money for a Fortnite dance.

Yes, you stupid faggot.

Pimax is usual chink garbo that just stacks "specs" but fails to mention horrible user experience issues and technical flaws, I wouldn't shill it even ironically.

Well, it either means they gave up or they are done with most of the developement.

The VR meme made John Carmack and that guy who sold Oculus Rift to Zuckerberg a shitload of money.
It fell flat on its face. What a shame. Maybe if they had made waifu apps instead of a few gimmicky point & click simulators that required a $800 piece of hardware it would've at least gotten a few notable games out of it.

Because you read the first couple of words and you already know what the rest is going to say.

Palmer Luckey aka Pony Fucker killed VR by 1) Selling out to Faceberg and 2) Lying about the price and then massively overpricing it.

They will probably release one more card set some day and then call it quits if the game doesn't revive.
Might come with f2p but who the fuck knows what they have planned, if anything.

Thank god
Wouldn't actually even own this chink gen1.5 if it wasn't compatible with Valve tech

Valve waking up and realizing VR in its current form is nothing more than a gimmick?

That's all they have but even then Japanese developers are moving over to PC due to the amount of sells they are having. DMC 5 and DMC5 Deluxe are number one and 2 respectively on the Steam Charts. Sekiro is 4th place. There is less exclusivity as time is going on.

What the fuck is there to do in VR anyways? Seems like the best shit to play is shit that already exists on consoles and PC.

VR is literatelly the Dreamcast/VirtualBoy/WiiU of this generation, it exists and you can get one but why would you take a VR set over a new console, a new game for a console you already own or just literally anything else.

Tyler please for the love of god rebrand to Nintendo or something.

>What the hell is happening there?
Valve's work model working as intended.
Employees are allowed to just fuck around and pick which projects they want to work on.
They started and stopped development on HL3 multiple times literlaly just because everyone started getting bored and dropped it.
This is the reason they mainly just make microtransactions now and pretend to make worthwhile patches while they let their paychecks roll in
Turns out when you don't hold employees to their work you get an office full of people with functional ADHD
