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

Half-Life 3 is a VR-exclusive.

Half Life 3 is an ideal, a hope, light itself

Maybe email it to Gabe as a suggestion since he likes getting emails from random gamers.

i already spent my gabe juice today asking him to be added to deadlock as a character (he said yes) but thanks for the recommendation

Let me know if you get put in so I can complain about it being an OP character played by scrubs and tryhards, and should be nerves for balance

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

wraith night kicked ass tho

It would be very funny for the tedious repetitive MOBA trash to actually be some sort of a disguise hiding a game I'd actually play.
