>hurr durr half-life 3 won't be released because of hype

your counterpoint doesn't really disagree with the original point.

You idiot, i can't read it cause i have night mode on

>tfw night mode so can't read your bullshit
haha

It won't happen because the way Valve works is retarded. No one wants to work on it.

This is killing games like CS:GO and TF2

yes, they are currently working on the pyro update to fix the class, bring balance changes and hopefully fix the shitshow that is casual and comp.

Why on God's green Earth would you assume employees are distributed to projects evenly?

TF2 does not require 51 employees and definitely doesn't have 51 people working on it. Frankly this whole thread makes me believe you have a very ignorant idea of how game development works.

>>385749941
CSGO has less than 5 full time devs on it
Pretty funny desu
The only projects that have a lot of people actually working on it are the steam platform itself and VR related stuff

>>385749008
Daily reminder that there are currently 14 people working on TF2 and only 4 of them are programmers.

>>385749941
TF2 has around 15 people. CSGO has like 30. Dota and VR have like 60 each.

>>385750053
TF2 also has like 2 employees and a janitor working on it.

What the fuck are the rest of Valve employees doing? Can we expect something great and unpredictable in the future? Or are they just all working on DOTA like the assfaggots that they seem to be?

>>385750291
They're working on 3 full length VR games, I imagine the majority is working on those and steam itself.

>>385749008
There are 51 potted plants working on TF2?

>>385750456
>They're working on 3 full length VR games
Huh, can I get a source on this?

Half life 3 is in development, we get a lot of leaked hl3 files in steam updates

what the fuck is night mode

>>385750912
>tfw want to be excited but can't be because no VR gear
Thanks for the source anon.

>>385750935
Tomorrow mode or whatever they call it, it makes the background black

>>385751004
You're better off for now, whatever those projects are won't be released until the next generation of VR, which will hopefully be half as shit and half as expensive.

This is just a mathematical example, like with Riot games (most of the employees at Riot isn't related to the game development).
I used this to show that Valve would need to hire a new employees to make a Half-Life 3

Oh shit i forgot these green meme arrows

Half-Life has had a consistent level of focus and employee team size (generally ~100 employees, as low as ~70 at times). The reason it's taken so long is simply that they will not release anything but "THE BEST GAME EVER". Half-Life 2 had the same philosophy, but eventually they had no choice but to release due to external factors (MONEY - Sierra, console and PC hardware deals, etc.). Since Steam rose to hegemony and has given them infinite cash, there is no such concern for Half-Life 3.

It has been very nearly announced several times since 2013 (basically constantly on-the-cusp). The basic vision and significant content work has been in place since then, with only PERFECTION and externality-based delays holding it up. The most recent delays have been in order to cut/de-emphasize significant paid-mods integration, and to ensure full VR integration including full support for near-future VR hardware features in conjunction with the VR team.

It will be announced once it is ready, and only delayed some arbitrary amount of time for marketing. It has never been closer to announcement and release. It WILL be announced before the film series is in theaters.

Why would you take the time to post this anon? Do you actively enjoy lying to people or are you an aspiring writer taking an opportunity to practice?

More like because every influential person involved with Half Life has left Valve.

>>385749008
> Maybe because they don't have an employees to focus on Half-life 3
they have enough money to hire the entire videogame industry for them if they wanted to pcbro

i too miss the good days they cared about us. they used to be a good company
