Though the way the leaker describes it makes it sound more like a 3rd person MOBA than a hero shooter.

    Valve famously only works on what excites them. You’re yelling me THIS is that?? How utterly defeatingly disappointing.

      Like idk, when overwatch came out, it was an absolute blast. I wasn’t looking forward to it at all, i didn’t care for it a bit until i played it. It just got run into the ground slowly. Also they made team fortress 2 way WAY before, and yeah that’s what they excites them.

      Valve’s game development division feels more like a weird cult than a proper game company. I don’t think they get “excited” for the things that most people get excited for. (Remember when they were excited for a virtual card game where you have to pay for every card?) The Valve of the 2000s is long gone IMO

      Typically valve only puts out games that showcase something new, so might be interesting

          They were both originally mods that they adopted rather than original creations though, right?

      Is it really surprising? It’s not like it’s their first competitive shooter.
