He should know what happens behind his closed doors and if there's been some major gap, no?

How does that contradict my statement?

You implied they've been working on games all the time, Newell is cited as being back on games, which implies they haven't.
If that's not what you wanted to express, you should make your point clearer. I got the impression though this became a discussion for the sake of discussing.

Quoting: DuncIt's true they didn't abandon it completely - maybe I should have said new game development - but Portal 2 is almost eight years old, and Left 4 Dead 2 is nine. Dota2 was effectively bought in, and TF2 hasn't seen a major update in a long while. It's pretty obvious that Steam has been the priority for the best part of a decade.

They LITERALLY just released a game this week. Dota 2 wasn't bought in. And just because you don't know what happens behind closed doors doesn't mean they aren't working on games. What else do you think those developers are doing?

Quoting: 0aTTSo many bad ratings after 1h play time I've never seen for a triple-A game. For many, it seems to be an emotional subject. They seem to spend more time discussing than playing.

This may be a very special monetarization model:
Let's not make HL3, so the fan base will buy anything just to downvote it for not being HL3. ;)

What I'm wondering about all the negative Steam reviews concerning the monetarization model:
Didn't they know before buying?

Quoting: PatolaWhere's Wilson? This game cannot possibly exist without Wilson.

Sounds like the perfect easter egg for the game!

I never played a Trading Card Game, neither online nor offline.
Is there any introduction to Artifact I could read for some (casual) gaming?

I love our Feral, but Thou Shalt Not Forget the developers that changed their working style to just include Linux from the beginning and are delivering their games multi-platform. Kudos to all of them!

About Beholder: I didn't yet play the first one and am wondering if I should get that first. I will probably.

Quoting: ageresFeral, cancel your Skyrim port, cRaZy-bisCuiT is not interested in it.

Me neither! That's about half of the Linux croud...!
