Half Life is a Quake mod.

You forgot
>Day of Defeat was a mod
>Deathmatch Classic is just Quake's multiplayer remade

They only made Half Life. Eveything else is mods, or made by a different studio and then bought by Valve.

Does no one remember Alien Swarm? It was a mod first too.

They made a good engine for modding, and invested wisely in the better of the mods with those games, makes me wonder what would have happened if they invested in other great mods

Team Fortress Classic was an in-house mod. Cook and Walker were working for Valve.

>>Artifact is probably going to be a Hearthstone clone
From what I read, its more like they are trying to take everything about a MOBA and turn it into a 1v1 turn based game, its supposed to have creeps and everything.

>>386699676
It started as a Quake mod, then they joined Valve.

You forgot Ricochet

>>386699316
Half-life was just a tech demo for their engine

>>386699903
And how did Ricochet end up?

>>386699528
Yeah but they were actually smart for employ modders

The thing is, we need something new. Make a new game.
Would you buy a RPG in the style of Witcher made by them?
I would.

once hl1 was a success there wasn't really a need for original games

>>386699654
There were honestly too many for them to invest into. There were dozens of amazing multiplayer mods, not to mention singleplayer mods.

>>386700091
Good. I liked it. I have around 12 hours in it which is quite a lot for such a small game.

>>386699992
You're thinking of Half-Life 2.

>>386699316
Portal was a student game not an indie game

>>386699465
>>Day of Defeat
The best multiplayer FPS of all time

>no Gunman Chronicles on Steam
Go fuck yourself Valve

>>386699316
>>Artifact is probably going to be a Hearthstone clone
and this is where you prove youre an idiot. they already described it, its not a hearthstone clone.

>>386699316
The pattern is that Valve are the only ones smart enough to know successful mods when they see them.

Blizzard had every opportunity to make something out of dota but they squandered each and every one then got so butthurt over being scooped that they tried to fucking sue valve for porting a mod and then failed at that too. What a fucking blunder of a company.

>>386700091
Ricochet was fucking amazing. They always joke about making Ricochet 2, but I'd buy that shit. I'd play it more than the fucking Dota card game they're making.

I don't think Valve owns the rights to Gunman Chronicles, and Rewolf dissolved like right after the game launched. How would they put it on Steam?

>>386700854
is it a ccg with a bunch of valve propertys?

>>386701302
probably

Back in the day I bought a pack of PC games that included No One Lives Forever, Gunman Chronicles and a totally underrated Die Hard first person shooter. The pack was published by Sierra. So I wouldn't doubt if both of those games are in the same legal hell that No One Lives Forever is in.
