Ha! Neat!

Twenty years using the same game engine squeezing it to the last drop of juice.

And doing so pretty successfully, it must be noted.

Happy 20th Valve. I hope you start making games again at some point... It's been three years since you did anything vaguely interesting for me...

I wonder what people thought about Day Of Defeat in 2003. Some probably said "What's this? A Medal Of Honor copycat?"

It actually kind of looks like it...

I don't know... The quality and feel of Valve's games is mainly because of its original team. But now, they're either leaving, or getting old (well, those who leave are getting old as well). I'd say Valve will or at least should continue this way and only deliver general gaming services (steam, steam os, ...).

I hope not. Hearthstone doesn't interest me one bit, and it wouldn't if it had Valve characters or hats.

After playing Gwent in The Witcher 3, I've become interested in card games...
But I don't think Valve could make an interesting card game.

Probably a card game about Rebels vs. Combines.

The Strider card could effectively destroy 3 regular rebels. And, a Dog card would be able to destroy an APC. An Odessa card (the guy who gives you the RPG), could destroy either an APC, or an Airship.

The Crowbar card would be the rarest. It defeats everything.
