Valve was going to ship The Orange Box in a white box before staff 'destroyed' the idea, and yes they saw you all doubting Portal before release: 'You guys are gonna eat those words' (www.pcgamer.com)

Sounds like interesting news, 20 years ago.

I mean, it is literally the 20th anniversary, so it’s not that out of place

[–] wizardbeard@lemmy.dbzer0.com 7 points 6 days ago

A lot of this is coming from all the documentary and developer commentary content Valve released recently for the big 20th anniversary of Half Life 2's release, so that's spot on.

Im sure ill be saying this about covid and the rise of fascism in the far future.

Interesting. Why was this not known at the time where the orange box was released?

[–] Skullgrid@lemmy.world 3 points 6 days ago

Some people hated it, but I never saw it. I installed the portal mod for Garry's mod and played narbacular drop while waiting for the release.
