  • Although their future plans are always enigmatic to their community, it's fair to say that Valve has a special place in most gamers' hearts. From the humble beginnings in the first Half-Life to the mega-corporation thanks to Steam and microtransactions, Valve has evolved and revolutionized gaming. In this video, I will be explaining their vast library of games, including those which have fallen into obscurity because it was canceled or forgotten or suffered some other similar fate. This is the Valve Iceberg Explained.
    Who or what is Valve? (Wikipedia): Valve Corporation, also known as Valve Software, is an American video game developer, publisher, and digital distribution company headquartered in Bellevue, Washington. It is the developer of the software distribution platform Steam and the Half-Life, Counter-Strike, Portal, Day of Defeat, Team Fortress, Left 4 Dead, and Dota series.
    Valve was founded in 1996 by former Microsoft employees Gabe Newell and Mike Harrington. Its debut product, the first-person shooter (FPS) Half-Life (1998), was a critical and commercial success; with its realism, scripted sequences and seamless narrative, it had a lasting influence on the FPS genre. Harrington left in 2000. In 2003, Valve launched Steam, followed by Half-Life 2 in 2004. With advanced physics systems and an increased focus on story and characters, Half-Life 2 received critical acclaim and sold 12 million copies by 2011. In 2006, Valve released Half-Life 2: Episode One, the first in a planned trilogy of episodic sequels. Episode Two followed in 2007, alongside the multiplayer game Team Fortress 2 and the puzzle game Portal. Portal 2 was released in 2011. In 2013, Valve released the multiplayer online battle arena game Dota 2.
    Valve released fewer games in 2010s, and experimented with hardware and virtual reality (VR). They entered the hardware market in 2015 with the Steam Machine, a line of gaming computers, which sold poorly, and released the HTC Vive and Valve Index VR headsets. They returned to the Half-Life series in 2020 with Half-Life: Alyx, their flagship VR game. In 2021, Valve announced the Steam Deck portable gaming PC.

      that really doesn't feel like the case. the amount of abandoned projects to me is a sign that valves "work on what you want" system really isnt that good in execution. sure it might be good for employees in the short term but in the long term it leads to nearly *nothing* getting done for *ages*.
      like, ignoring artifact and undrlords (like everyone basically does) half-life alyx was valve's first major release in *7 years*. that wouldn't be so bad if a: anything else released in that stretch was actually substantial and b: there werent several great concepts for games just thrown away in that time.

    It's been reported in the past that Hostile Takeover was canned cuz the head of the company was an unlikable and deeply hostile person that Gabe Newell personally disliked, so he canned the game. After that, the company began a slow and steady collapse, with some of the devs leaving in 2001 to form a new, somewhat obscure indie studio known as Infinity Ward.

    Actually, CS:O and CSNexon is the same game in Asian market with directly called "Counter-Strike Online"
    And the name of "Nexon: Zombie" and "Nexon: Studio" are due to the new Gamemode in the game
    Former one added zombie modes (maybe also included "Scenarios"), and the later one also has "Studio Mode" which makes players play or even create their own map
