Quoting: GuestHow did we go from this to it's a good game now? [External Link]
Why don't you just answer the question? And just because people were pissed when it was announced (when aren't people pissed anyway?), doesn't mean it's the same people that like the game now. And even if they are the same people... maybe they should reserve their judgment? Just answer the question.

Quoting: Guesti'm implying that valve could have made something much better then yet another digital card game that got them booed out of the building when they first announced it
Again, one doesn't exclude the other. Valve consists of many smaller teams. Just because one team created Artifact doesn't mean the other teams aren't creating other games.

Quoting: Guestno one not even die hard dota 2 fans asked for or even wanted this game
So?

Quoting: Guesthonestly it's just yet another digital card game when it could have been something better like a whole new franchise from valve that proves they don't need half life to make the next great game

but now it seems like valve just wants to be another EA imo
If they were EA they would crank out another Half-Life every year.
If they were just like every other trepel ayeee company they would make yet another card game because heartstone and gwent did it over doing something else
Why don't you just make a rational argument? :/
Valve has become a victim of their own success just like every other trepel ayee company
How so?
before i answer that i first must ask you
why do you think valve made a dota2 card game?
I can't look into their heads, but I guess it's a combination of many things... first and foremost that some of the people over there thought it would be fun to do, because that's what Valve usually does.

They have no owners or shareholders to answer to. They just do what they think is good. Often that's taking something that exists in some form and polish it to perfection.
You probably won't get were i'm coming from then
Why don't you give it a try?

Quoting: SolipsistWerewolfThe business model alone is enough to drive me away. The era of pay-to-pay is here.
The era is here? You had to buy World of Warcraft and still pay every month. Or what about all other real TCGs? As if that's anything new.

Quoting: GuestThe fact that valve would rather do this over giving the fans what they really want(half life 3 or anything that is not gwent with dota 2 characters) from valve speaks volumes to how much valve actually cares about the people that play valves games

someone had to say it
One doesn't exclude the other.

The Atari VCS team put out a post to talk about the Linux OS along with an open source project teaser
22 Nov 2018 at 8:31 pm UTC Likes: 1

But if a seperate OS has to be booted from like an USB drive... will you still get access to the VCS internal storage? Like if you try to use SteamOS and it would have to get all the game data through USB, that's not great.

Not expecting much, but I wish them luck.

To celebrate Half-Life turning 20, Black Mesa released a trailer for Xen

Quoting: mirohmm indeed that does not look like Xen, it has (men-made?) structures - afaik the original Xen from HL1 is not built this way.
It was never their intent to rebuild Xen as it was. The folks at Valve weren't satisfied with Xen either...
