What happened to Valve? And should we wait for Half-Life 3 and Left 4 Dead 3 to be released?

For 15 years since its founding, Valve has had an impeccable reputation in the gaming community. The release of groundbreaking games and the creation of Steam, which offered an alternative to bona fide gamers and fought PC piracy, are just a few of Valve's achievements. Gabe Newwell's company seemed to be given any task without problems, they are none other than geniuses leading the gaming industry into a cloudless future. But the longer we wait for the release of the mythical Half-Life 3, the more we hear the news that famous developers only care about their own capital, the more disappointed we become with the legendary Valve.

Today, in a new video of Alice, we propose to see what happened to Valve and why developers, and in particular Gabe Newell, have become associated primarily with money-hungry moneybags, and not game developers. It is not for nothing that the game industry even has the term "Valve Time", which means the difference between the date of the announcement and the actual date of the project's release.

And at the same time, Alice will touch on the most painful topic: the possible release of Half-Life 3 and Left 4 Dead 3. According to numerous rumors and insider information, there is no reason to think that Valve never thought about creating sequels of its own franchises. I thought about it and even developed it, but for a number of reasons the games never saw the light of day.

If you briefly summarize the actions (or even inaction) of Gabe Newwell's company, you can find two main reasons for Valve's failures in the gaming arena:

  • An emphasis on the commercialization of products, which is why the creation of games is approached with a policy of obtaining maximum profit with minimum financial costs. The most recent example is the failed Artifact.
  • Valve's anarchic structure, where all developers have no deadlines and choose the project they want to work on. It sounds great in words, but this approach has significant drawbacks.

If you liked the video, then we suggest you look at other Alice's materials: 10 secret locations that you will not find on the map and the craziest game records.
