    It is sort of funny to think that a developer that was resurrected from the dead, might somehow, successfully pull off episodic gaming now when they couldn’t before they died.

    If Valve couldn’t do it, I sort of doubt anyone can really do it. Video games are soul-crushing to develop.

      Devil’s advocate, it’s possible they learned a lot by trying and failing, and now they are better equipped than anyone to figure it out.

      The issue with valve is not they couldn’t do it, it’s because how they develop game. If no one pick up the project then the project just die. That’s how hl2ep3 die. If they run like how every other company is, we would already finished the series.

      The flip side of that is we get stuff like Steam Deck, Index, Alyx, and Proton.
