as a turk, I feel shame
Valve buys up dev teams that are about to shake the industry up. Valve haven’t actually been the ones to make something new in a long time. TFC, CS, Portal, DoD, L4D, Alien Swarm, Dota 2… were all made by outside dev teams that Valve absorbed and put their name on.
I mean, that's the entire point they have at valve. They want to get the people with talent recognition and resources. That's why they did all that stuff with the tf2 asset store. Fuck it, the community is better than us than making maps. let's get them to make maps, sell a thing that puts money to the map maker's hands.
Oh, these kids are awesome, they would do wonders with more money and an audience. Fuck it, here you go. Oh BTW, old man murray was an awesome site, let's get the writers behind that a steady paycheque and have them write the story for these kids and their wacky princess portal wall thing.
What's that, they want to use our cornerstone IP universe? Eh, fuck it, why not.
We can't make shitloads of games, let's just make it so that when people want to sell games, we can host the games. Fuck it, we just cornered the PC gaming distrobution scene.
Microsoft might fuck people over with their OSes? Fuck it, let's extend and contribute to linux in a symbiotic way, then people don't have to rely on MS to game on PC.
etc, etc.
valve isn't about making games, it's about extending the pc gaming ecosystem and making it so that people with talent get money, and people who want to play games can play them, and to bridge the gap between the two.
do it for fun. I dabbled a little to no audiece, I just liked putting on a show. No one's watching, well, no one listens to my music either.

my idea is more that they printed out timetables, set up clocks etc to claim that they are punctual.
Ironically, trains don't run on time, despite their fame.
except the london underground, that shit comes once ever 3 mins bang on time, I miss it so bad.
except the times I had to use the overground like a fucking chump, that shit's just national rail with a brand makeover. I had to wait like 20 mins to get on the train to go get laid after work.
worth it though
if it didn't make us angry, and INFLUENCE OTHER BUSINESSES TO DO THE SAME REPUGNANT SHIT, we'd be buying it.

turn that shit blue then we'll talk
I hope they overcharged, turnabout is fair play
It's right there in the ten commandments, which I'd like to remind you has other legit bangers that still work in these modern times like "thou shalt not kill" :
Exodus 20:3-5 King James Version
3 Thou shalt have no other gods before me.
4 Thou shalt not make unto thee any graven image, or any likeness of any thing that is in heaven above, or that is in the earth beneath, or that is in the water under the earth.
5 Thou shalt not bow down thyself to them, nor serve them: for I the Lord thy God am a jealous God, visiting the iniquity of the fathers upon the children unto the third and fourth generation of them that hate me;
