Quoting: kuhpunktIt's a fact that they have been working on games all the time. Things like that space game might have fallen apart, sure. Others like HL3 might have slowed down/been restarted due to a lack of interest or whatever... but saying that they haven't been working on anything for the past couple of years is just plain wrong.

Yeah, so? There are facts. Things have been leaked. That's no baseless claim. I don't claim to know anything besides that. I don't know what games they will release next (besides In The Valley Of Gods) and when Half-Life 3 will be a thing and what VR games they are exactly working on.

Quoting: kuhpunktYou don't know that.

You too.

With the difference that I don't make claims like you do.

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

How does that contradict my statement?

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.

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