Valve's games

Games don't pop out of thin air, you know that right? Portal the student game and Portal the retail game are so far apart it isn't funny.

And nintendo used to sell rooms for sex.

Valve can take a good idea and execute it fantastically.

All of those mods were great ideas and valve executed them fantastically.

Even if it was a 1:1 copy, who gives a shit? They made a 5minute game become an hour experience orangebox shovelware which had a great sequel.

If it's a proven game idea that goes from amateur work to professional I don't really give a shit.

>Anyone see the pattern?
Yea I see one, they stopped being a game dev studio after Half Life 2 and decided it's more lucrative to just be the middle man since it's less demanding job in creative department, marketing, investments etc. Also nobody cares since there is not a single game studio that never made a shit game or went to the shitter.

Half-Life was like a tech demo for their engine.
