>"Valve never misses!"
>>729331286Dota Underworld was also abandoned... Makes me weary of getting into new online Valve games, if it flops at first they might just abandon the game TF2 is also abandoned and that was successful at one point. I hear devs that work in TF2 at Valve at bullied and called cucks by the other devs
>>729331534>fumbled just buing autochess from the south korean niggers>their shit version fumbled TWICE>artifact abandoned, then they promised some sort of little support just to rugpull again KEKbruno carlucci is an incompetent argensimian nigger who is completely useless and worthless and only landed a job at valve out of sheer luck and dick sucking capability
Valve never misses…at lying.Valve screwed over the Artifact fanbase by cancelling the Artifact 2.0 beta without even allowing users to invite friends like they said they would in January 2021 and does not deserve your financial support for these gross consumer-unfriendly practices.
>>729331724>bruno carlucciWho's that? I haven't been kept up with the game world news in years
something something beta invites
>>729331908I was about to ask for the pasta.Also remember when the twitch section for artifact got swarmed with porn, including a lot of beast porn?
>>729331929the retard nigger responsible for dota underlord and artifact failures, just a worthless south american faggot who offered his bussy at valve HQ and landed a job despite only having proven failures in his track record
half-life 2 episode one was actually hot garbage. i just replayed thru every halflife except for the ps1 coop version and hl2ep1 is easily the most dogshit out of all of them. go watch or play it right now, you'll quickly see its just a shadow/darkness tech demo while alyx flirts poorly with you which is a thousand percent why it passed the smell test originally with gamecels im sure
i liked artifact.... :/
>>729331286What good has valve done for decades? Cs2 is abysmal and inferior to cs:go in every possible aspect excluding graphics.
>>729331534This is why I don't get the insane optimism some people have for Deadlock... sure they spent a lot more resources and years making the game but they just love working on something and then just fucking drop it out of the blue anyway
>>729332139Don't they have a libertard philosophy there on how to work on projects? Just reaping the fruits of their philosophical failures
>>729332139Dota 2, that was uuuh... 2012? and modern dota 2 is garbae (post 7.00 update and by 6.88+ it was already showing signs of shit)
>>729331534>was successful at one pointit still fucking is>>729332242it's just a fun game, they'll probably drop it if it doesn't makes a quadrillion dollars but i don't care it's not like i'll play it forever
So when is episode 3?
>>729332247>Just reaping the fruits of their philosophical failures
>>729331286Everyone agrees it was their biggest flop though
>>729332139Honestly their store is pretty good (unless it's Christmas lol).Stopped giving a shit about Valve the game developer a long time ago.
>>729331534>Dota Underworld was also abandonedbecause no valve dev wanted to work on itthats why at first they wanted to buy the auto chess people (who said no and accepted a deal with timmy tencent) and later they outsourced devs to do it (like sweet baby inc)
>>729332432They make money but don't expand easily on new areas because their devs just want to keep managing Steam (the strong project) and never take a chance on new projects like new games or whatever
>>729333024They literally making Deadlock right now.
>>729331286That game was great, they just abandoned it for no reason.
>>729331286Artifact was fucking based.
>>729331534>TF2 is also abandoned and that was successful at one point.TF2 was never as big of a success as valve wanted, they abandoned TF2 once their attempt at turning TF2 into a professional e-sport with a skins like CS failed.Valve can't make good shit anymore
>>729331286>>729333203I honestly would have loved for artifact to succeed, but the moment valve can't milk a game's playerbase for all they are worth they quickly lose interest and leave games on life support. They no longer have love for video games, it's all just about making monstrous amounts of money
>>729334196>the moment valve can't milk a game's playerbase for all they are worth they quickly lose interestthey never even released new card sets for us to buy
>>729334060Left 4 Dead and tf2 were wildly successful but they were simply 'complete experiences' and couldn't be monetized like nft-Strike could.
>>729333203beyond shit taste
>>729333203shartifact was shit and i say it as someone who likes dogshit cardgames like yugioh and hearthstone
>>729332139Cs2 is still in a fucking beta state and people defend it cuz le valbe tiem .
>>729334994>dogshit lover doesnt like kinowoah no way
>>729332432>it's the corporate governance!!it's that they don't add any value, they just collect a cut from every PC game sale with no work because gamers won't bother with alternatives
>>729333203>4k dotamust be a pinoy or indon
>>729335415white man who hasn't played in years
>>729333203this is fucking reddit tier holy shit
>>729331286I think portal 1 and 2 are ok to good games but I never understood why people loved those games so much.
>>729331286Considering the landscape of card games right now, this game probably could have quietly trucked on to eventually be the best and most popular one through sheer magnitude of Valve support.Hearthstone is a shadow of its former self and Bazaar is some troonslop game played by Kripp and no one else.
>>729331286valve games are easy as shit desu based on the singleplayer ones. save scumming literally ruins all difficulty.
>>729331286>Pay to buy the game>Pay to get cards>Pay to play the gamec'mon, not even EA would dare to pull this shit.
When I was young, I envied people who could focus on one thing and pursue it for years and yearsArtifactfag is an excellent example of why eternal focus is not always a good thing
>>729331286Who are you quoting?
Artifact wasn't a shit game. It just had shit monetization.
>>729332242It already flopped. Nobody talks about it other than here, nobody I know plays it, and the streams get no views.
>>729331286>counterstrike of card games
>>729331286I think the source engine is a weird engine sometimes. Obviously way better than unreal engine but why is source only useful for FPS games?
paid mods
>>729338338LMAO oh fuck ptsd.At that point I'd rather make my own game
>>729331286Technically Artifact is an amazing game. The problem is the rest of the world is too stupid to play it and Gaben thought we could stand some grade-A Richard Garfieldkino
>>729331534TF2 will be back in 36 days
Not a Dota guy but I wish I could use the VR spectator thing that they abandoned, should be super-cool looking at the little guys around the map in a tiny table
>>729331286Richard Garfield owns that disaster, him and Carlucci
>>729331534>>729331724They guy who invented auto chess was never going to sell to a non Chinese studio. But that whole genre burned out, so its not like valve could have done much.Artifact on the other hand was a complete misstep on their part given how absurdly popular pokemon tcg and mtg are right now.
>>729331286They should just stop with the new multiplayer games to sell loot boxes with but greed is just too good.
>>729340475Arena bombed. Online card games are pretty much dead in the water or back to its niche hole. The post-Hearthstone boom of PVP card games is over.
>>729334994>cites YGO and Hearthstone in an ironic wayYou actually have dogshit tastes so you're right on the money on that one.
Both Artifacts are still the most unique way to actually transport a game of DotA into a PVP card game. It's the most faithful cross-genre adaptation in that manner.
>>729340676Arena only looks bad when compared to MTG as a whole. 6.7k on steam is okay when you consider mobile and standalone client users also aren't tracked in that.I'm not saying it could pull tf2/dota numbers, but card games are low profit for even lower effort when done properly.
>>729331534I can see the same thing happening to deadlock within a year
>>729340931It's not a bad game at all, it just released with horrible monetization.
>>729341024the dev team for deadlock cares enough to be working on christmas eve and it has infinitely more appeal than underlords or artifact
>>729341078What really sunk it was the open beta being like 5 days long. There was no way to get meaningful feedback in that time period. Otherwise they would have known the monetization was fucked much quicker.
>>729341206The worst addition to the roster that singlehandedly killed the vibe of the game.
>>729341206>jojo minglesthis fucker still owes us a krystal model
I still hate Valve for normalizing 3rd party software simply to run completely separate games. And then PC newfags will "praise GabeN".At least the pirates are being honest.
>>729331286They made too many obvious blunders, which surprises me from Valve.1: They made the game too complicated. Most normies had no idea what was happening2: They made the games mechanics and cards mostly rely on RNG. This is just awful by design.3: They made the game a paid game not free to play. This is the most baffling error to me. Their main rival at the time was f2p.4: They made every single useful or overpowered card only available in paid packs or market. There was no daily quests or currency to grind to earn them yourself like rival games.Basically, Valve thought they could hire the creator of MTG and a bunch of smart people and just force their way into the market of online card gaming, but they completely fucked up and embarrassed themselves.They said they would fix it all but then quietly pulled the rug on anyone who supported the game.I'm surprised it was a quiet death and there wasn't more backlash.Their only other game since was a safe prequel VR game.I think the people hired at Valve can't make games anymore. They just do "projects" and maintain steam, which is the real cashcow of taking 30% of every sale from other developers.
>>729341206yandere dev "work"ed all year, we know that game is pure quality
>>729334994how is yugioh dogshit
>>729341707>living on patreon bucks and playing dark souls all day is the same as having the most sought after job in the game dev industry and going into the office during paid holiday leave
>>729340475Teamfight Tactics swallowed the player base
>>729342182When will the humiliation ritual of Riot copying and shoving out some dumbed down animeslop and getting ten times more players end
>>729342182Valve always gets mogged by the riot equivalent in terms of player numbers.
>>729332032I rewatched the entirety of buko no pico on Twitch when that occurred.
>>729342476>re
>>729342476what an image
>>729332139Cs2 only existed to shill source 2
>>729332075it passed for me cause i was like 14 when i played it and didnt give a shit. i mean back then it looked cool had good graphics and the physics were neat. but beyond that i didnt care about the story or characters. around 27 or so i played through halflife one and beat it. i can say it was much more fun and interesting than 2. the first time i played half life was on the ps2 at a friends house and i dont remember too much about it. i didnt care much about it.
>>729342476We truly need another artifact moment on twitch.
