    About TF2: Source 2 and Portal N64 and also TF: Classic, from what I've heard TF Source 2, breached Copyright because they used TF2 Original Asset, The portal one was requested by Nintendo after the developer was revealed to be using Nintendo Offical Devkit which Nintendo didn't like, and the Classic also used Valves original asset if I'm not wrong

    I think the modern gaming industry uses convince for their own greed so much that It is continuing to kill new releases. How many times has games come out just to be broken and they promise updates and small side shut to make up for their lazy asses. I personally got tired of this and went for the retro games or games released like 2 or 3 years ago on modern hardware due to them actually being finished finally. This year I got Tekken 8 that's it and from launch to now I haven't had any issues surprisingly but in past years the crazy shit these companies have pulled is crazy. The King of Fighters 15 also comes to mind when thinking of wonderful games that has released wonderfully. If the gaming industry continues with this awful business practices then a gaming crash is possible. Cool video. ^_^

    At this rate video games have become something i normally keep my enjoyment to myself or express to ones who im close to, gaming is something that i obviously love but nowadays i realize that theres so many issues no one really knows what the true issue is and nor do i, im at the point to where i remove myself from franchies that i feel arent good enough to capture my interest because games like pokemon just dont do it for me anymore, and people are completely missing the point, especially when the only game im hearing about in a positive light is hgss and bw.
    and with the topic of emulation im not surprised that we're losing the battle against game preseveration when people constantly antagonize companies like nintendo by emulating switch games and bragging about it online, i was there since metroid dread, totk, and pokemon SV's leak and im super disappointed, im all for emulating but c'mon now, this is just insane.
    i genuinely dont agree that indie games are saving the gaming industry as alot of people claim because alot of them are samey on the eyes and its ultimately rare for me to get into some, freedom planet and shantae (yes thats indie look it up) are the only ones that really capture my interest, really fun gameplay and charming dialogue.
    about the whole woke bs, im ngl while i understand it can get a bit draining considering alot of games make it a bit too in your face, but i genuinely feel like games should take notes from Paper mario if going that route because it says vivian is trans without throwing it into your face.
    nowadays i just dont feel like its just game devs anymore, fans of X franchise have gotten progressively worse and alot more irrational and its sad to see, at the end of the day we theyre just video games.
    if you really dont like something, spread your concern in a more respectful way and encourage others to do so. But some people just take things too far man and ill never understand why.

    I agree with most of this, and I don't know if this counts as a nitpick or just me not understanding the problem, but isn't Deadlock being like other games kind of, how games work? Like don't get me wrong, Valve neglecting their games is horrible, but making a new game that is a combination of other games, some they own, just seems like them making a game.
    Most games can be described as Blank+Blank, Legends Arceus is BotW mixed with Pokemon just off the top of my head. If I am coming off as ride I am very sorry and don't mean to, I'm just a little confused on that point, and other confusion than that the video was great!

      Deadlock isn't the issue however Deadlock might end up dead, no pun intended, just like the games that came before it if Valve doesn't start doing "treadmill work" to keep their games from being over run with bots. So far TF2 and CSGO2 are infested with them and now they're coming out with a new game? Come back to this comment and tell me I'm right that in a couple months that game with be filled with bots too.
