i think valve should keep making deadlock and balancing it as some big moba shooter nobody seems passionate about and announce a release date for a new singleplayer shooter and then suddenly wow heres an actually good singleplayer game with some unnamed protagonist and guns you can pick up and memorable characters and i guess it has a moba shooter multiplayer queue. free to play. and maybe they can charge like 15 bux for the campaign

free advice for the multi quadrillion dollar company that runs steam

For a while dota 2 had a pve roguelike game mode that was legitimately pretty fun, though valve keeps doing this thing where they make the fun temporary mode ballbustingly hard which I think kinda kills it for the majority of players

I don't foresee a single player game mode tbh but I think finding ways to tell a personal story across your many matches of a multiplayer pvp game is unexplored territory that valve could break new ground in. Maybe a hub similar to games like Hades, with NPCs who have comments about wins and losses or particular feats you pulled off.

this was a very satisfying post to read since you opened with a big "too true, too true" and closed with a concept for an excellent format that we probably wont get for freaking ages

i personally have been really wanting pve dota, i think ive made like seventeen comments about it. that desire must have partially come from the aghs lab and siltbreaker experiences
