Artifact Announcement Salt (Valve's CCG) - suck my ass Valve, Suck my hole ass!

[OwO What's This?]

Let's try this again.

Having waited for Valve to make a new game for so long (whens Half-Life 3 meme), this announcement has gamers positively pissing themselves with sadness and rage.

 

[Lackadaisy]

Gaben is best troll

 

[Loxiozzz]

The sound of group disappointment will never fail to make me laugh

 

[FierceBrosnan]

You'd think people would learn after so many years of Valve doing as little as possible.

 

[Elhaym]

All this salt is going to push HL3's release date back at least 100 years.

 

[ES 148]

Little do these idiots know, Half-Life 3 was going to be a card game anyway.

 

[Luigi]

Yu Gi Do Ta fucking killed me.
The crowd reaction was fantastic too.
I can't wait to hear from my friend who bought a thousand Dota2 levels just to 'support the community'.

 

[Loxiozzz]

 

[D.Va]

Anyone who had any hope for a new Half-Life probably hasn't realised that the OG staff who wrote and designed the previous games left Valve yonks ago.

lol vidya

 

[niggers]

haha are we sure this isn't volvo fucking with people?

it's so deadpan: "the dota card game". it might as well be called "obligatory spinoff crap". maybe its a joke?

 

[CWCchange]

Well, VALVe jumped on the DLC-centric smartphone card game train pretty late.

 

[CatParty]

lol salty vidya nerds

lol just play a different vidya. they all the same

This reminds me of the left 4 dead 2 boycott. Guess what? Didn't put a dent in their sales.

Companies don't have to do shit anymore for Money. Release an AAA title once everryyyy 3 or so years and your stock will remain steady.

Valve isn't going to release another Half Life game (or any other game like it) unless they have a very novel or innovative concept to base it on.

They're no longer in the business of making products that they can't sell as a service they can milk for years. They learned a while ago its far more profitable and less risky.

 

[The Great Chandler]

This is pretty much the salt.
"OMFFFFFFG VALVE! FFFFFFUUUUUUUAAAAAAAAAaaaaAAAAaaaaAAAAAAAaaaaaaIIIIIiiiiiiIIIIIIIIIIII-" *Transmission Lost*

 

[TiggerNits]

This is pretty much the salt.

Gabe has more important shit to worry about, like knives

 

[Yaks]

And here I was hoping they were going to call it the "Hearthstone destroyer" like they do for WoW with every MMO that comes out.

Oh you sweet summer child.

 

[AnOminous]

And for this, we never get to learn what happened after Eli died.

Fuck you, Valve!

Eid Nebag Eid!

They're no longer in the business of making products that they can't sell as a service they can tard cum for years. They learned a while ago its far more profitable and less risky.

Much better to just get a cut of everyone else's gambles.

Those other suckers can win or lose, they don't care. They get their cut either way.

Valve is at its core now the boss of a casino, rather than being one of the players. It's hard to criticize their strategy, since the boss always wins, but it still pisses me off that some good games they could have made didn't get made.

They're a smarter Konami at this point, though.

 

[TiggerNits]

I could see valve eventually handing over licenses to make sequels to TF, L4D and HL to third party small developers to quietly make said games. They'd make money on both ends and only have to manage the contract instead of the work, plus they could NDA everything up pretty tight and if the game sucks in the eyes of Valve, they can strangle it and move on

And for this, we never get to learn what happened after Eli died.

Fuck you, Valve!

Eid Nebag Eid!

Maybe Eli got turned into a card.
