Firewatch is undoubtedly my favourite of 'those' type of games and probably top 10 of last 5 years, so this is a huge bummer.
I mean people here actively ignore Jane's tweets whenever they get posted, what did you expect?Remember when we had the first one when Campo was bought and Campo devs came here to say they were dissapointed with the reaction and era promised to be better?
I remember.
Some of the people in this thread should just admit they don't actually care about the Campo devs and are just using this to rag on Valve.

Exactly this. Doesn't matter how many times Campo Santo devs state their positions and feelings.
May as well be talking to brick walls.
I do. This forum wants to attract developers, yet when you have a thread full of people calling developers liars and sell-outs—developers who post here no less—the only mod response is... to take part in the thread. Wild.Remember when we had the first one when Campo was bought and Campo devs came here to say they were dissapointed with the reaction and era promised to be better?

I presume they're experimenting and working on a bunch of projects and pitches, but barely any of them live on for long enough to see the light of day. And the ones that do, and are games, tend to be these attempts at being big popular multiplayer trend things, with hats.

great. consumed by the valve machine and made to do it's bidding. i was half hopeful they'd be left to make what they wanted but i guess not. i imagine once alyx is done they'll be forever making DOTA shit.
No one should be upset by hats. People in this thread are just generally rowdy about any negative sentiment towards Valve at this point I guess.Gotta say, I stopped reading at this point, because there hasn't been anything hat related in bloody years. Not years. Like, at least do a little digging and edit your post to say "Courier". Though if you're going to dig at all, I don't see why you wouldn't just educate yourself about Valve generally.
Also, jesus, Half Life: Alyx isn't multiplayer.
Lord!
I legit feel embarrassed about posting in gaming threads here nowadays.
There are tweets from several Campo Santo devs that make clear this was their own decision, but don't let that get in your way or anything.great. consumed by the valve machine and made to do it's bidding. i was half hopeful they'd be left to make what they wanted but i guess not. i imagine once alyx is done they'll be forever making DOTA shit.
Unhappiness is all we have. :(
Just FYI, Olly Moss didn't join Valve at the same time as Campo Santo team, and he explicitly mentioned that he wasn't going to work on ItVoG when he was hired (well, unless they needed help). So yeah, he was probably working on Alyx from the very day he was in Valve.I have the original Olly Moss prints from Firewatch, so I was excited about possibly seeing new stuff from VoG.
My dreams are crushed again.

It's hard to tell on the internet :(
Some of the "selling out" stuff in here is really gross, but I guess that's par for the course on this pro-developer forum.
Huh, I somehow completely missed that they'd even been hired.Didn't a large chunk of the Kerbal Space Program people get hired and later leave? That's my best guess.
There are like, four people that attacked CS so far, and ja2ke even thumbsupped a Valve shitpost in this very thread. What are you even talking about?This forum wants to attract developers, yet when you have a thread full of people calling developers liars and sell-outs
What do you think this is, Valve bought a 12 person indie studio just so they could stop them making the game they were making and claim they're still making?
What are you even trying to prove with that quote?There are like, four people that attacked CS so far, and ja2ke even thumbsupped a Valve shitpost in this very thread. What are you even talking about?
But since we're pulling receipts from eighteen months ago:
The fact that you a) went back to find a post of mine from ages ago to shame me, and b) found one that isn't actually what happened here is kind of blowing my mind.

You hear a lot about how at Valve you can work on what you want. It turns out that's true, and there's a lot of work available. As we integrated ourselves into Valve it became clear there was a lot of valuable work to be done on Half-Life: Alyx.

Funny thing about that, they're finally making good on that cancelled game. It's called Half-Life: Alyx, you may have heard about it.
OH I'm sorry, I must have missed where episode 3 was a part of that. Could you link me the ep 3 trailer?
And the number that is higher than 2 but smaller than 4.

Yes I know. Users like myself are not doing any of that. Or what gave you the impression I did?The only reason people are "rowdy" in this thread is users like yourself saying the same tired ol' Valve meme takes that has been mentioned for years when we have an article, statements, and even the devs on social media and this very thread stating that Valve weren't the ones that shut down "In the Valley of the Gods". Do people have a right to be disappointed that the game is on indefinite hold? Of course. I, too, was looking forward to the game. However, shitting on the devs and Valve when there's proof that it isn't the case is just uncalled for.

Hats, couriers. Tomato, potato. I went with hats because it was my first thought, and so I assumed also a reference most people here would get.
Just a good-natured poke at how Valve tends to be into their metagame stuff, and an implication that I'm not.
