lol, he was right.

interesting

who has left since 2013?

I remember using steam on ubuntu and the games that were ported were fucking horrible (right up til last year when I quit linux and autism at the same time) and I had to refund over 75% of all games I bought for linux.

Valve seems to have offered everyone some kind of incentive to release on linux but NOT A SINGLE ONE will support the linux version after release. I remember buying RUST for linux and posting a thread on the facepunch forums and having them tell me they don't even have a linux machine to test on and told me to keep my fingers crossed that my issue would be fixed in the future.

>>390120194
Is this a bad thing though, if linux gets more support?

>>390120581
why haven't I heard about this game before?

Asking like a moron: What about Vulkan API ?

>>390120694
problem is, he was also the first and last writer. All the others left before that.

>Lintards killed Valve

I have nothing against Linux as an OS, I don't see the appeal but I'm sure some people do

it's fanbase however is the most cancerous thing on this site after sonybros

>>390120852
Zero advertising budget. They spend all their time and money on developing gameplay.

Valve doesn't work like that, there is no upper management.

honestly why would anyone want to work for valve? you could come up with some amazing game/story/system and it may never even see the light of day

>>390124580
oh you mean every fucking company? at least at valve you could work on it on your own.

Yeah because companies normally let people do that.
If anything Valve has enabled ideas with potential dreamed up by nonames more than any other company.

Valves Strategy is Extremely shady as fuck because of one simple fact.
because you don't even realise that they are being assholes.
pretty much every 'game' they made after the first half life has just been taking other peoples Ideas and claiming them as their own while half assedly mentioning "oh yeah the Idea came From X who now 'works' for us"
but you never hear a single thing about what those devs they offered a job doing anything as creative as the Ideas Valve took from them under the guise of offering a job so its safe to assume that they get some lowest of the low tier job after valve collectively creampies their Idea for all its worth

>>390126182
>so its safe to assume that they get some lowest of the low tier job
Valve has a flat management structure so the only hierarchy that exist are those that form in the company's cliques. This obviously has its own problems but "given a low tier job" just isn't a thing.

>>390126330
someone still has to do the low tier jobs that no one else wants to do, it doesnt matter about valves fake ass """Flat management""" shit
and I bet my left testicle that it is always the new guys (aka, the latest group of devs they offered a 'job' to) that does them

>>390126961
There is no "low-tier job" that they don't just hire janitorial services for. Valve definitely has its share of problems in its structure but I've been to the company and talked to people who work there, it just doesn't work like that.

>has resulted in virtual hats and assfaggots
revolutionary

>>390126961
it's pretty clear from valve's lack of tech support and leaving games to die a slow painful death that their is no such thing as a low tier job

>>390126182
>pretty much every 'game' they made after the first half life has just been taking other peoples Ideas and claiming them as their own while half assedly mentioning "oh yeah the Idea came From X who now 'works' for us"
That's a funny way to say that they hired people working on mods and allowed them to turn their ideas into fully fledged games
I'm sure they're severely pissed about getting money for something they already did for free, with tons of professional support to boot

There's rumors that the reason they're moving to a larger office in Seattle is because they want to expand and transition into a more conventional structure like we see in most companies. This has also been rumored as the reason why so many of Valve's veterans have left recently.

>>390127532
Valve had a normal structure at the start though.

>>390127825
they always have had it, their flat management bullshit has always just been a facade just for good PR with the modders/beginner devs that valve loves to absorb to make their games for them

>>390127531
Don't buy it?

>>390120194
Wow anon, I totally couldn't have predicted the writing staff getting pissed off because they haven't worked on a notable project since 2011. THIS LEAK IS TOTALLY LEGIT
