I will never understand why Valve sits on their popular IP like L4D and Half Life instead of creating new content.
As much as everyone lauds valve, and its company structure, they do have problems with actually making things.
There's no real financial push to make things. They'll make the same amount this year if they release a new game or not.
So it's down to if people at the company want to make something. And it seems they choose hardware more often and struggle to get things to the finish line without any real push to make that happen.
Losing people like Chet Faliszek doesn't help much. People who got projects finished.
Tbf an environment where people can work on the things they want seems a pretty good one.
Like sure we aren't getting more games but idk the steam deck has been a wonder creation of theirs, plus feels a bit entitled to expect more sequels or games bc we are just consumers of their creation.
Not to mention the Steam Deck lit the fire under the asses of all the other manufacturers, if they weren't already developing handhelds. Quite a positive price and technology chain reaction.
And pushed Linux gaming into the spotlight once again!
