RUMOR: Nintendo approached Valve for exclusive Switch game, Half-Life Tactics (cancelled)

Artifact's scenario is no where near as egregious as the one suggested here. You're comparing a dinky little card game, versus a tactics entry in a legendary PC franchise that has been memed to hell and back for a lack of new installments, that would have been exclusive to a platform most PC gamers don't even own. These aren't remotely comparable.
I don't believe it.
Wait, was this not true? If not, then I definitely don't believe it lol.

nothing IMO will beat Dragon quest 9 only on ds meltdown or Bayonetta 2 only wii u meltdown from that old site.
Final Fantasy Tactics, Metal Gear Ac!d, Rabbids Kingdom Battle are all top tier in their related series. I'd prefer a Half-Life Tactics spinoff to another FPS, tbh
The outrage of Valve announcing a new Half Life game that wasn't Half Life 3 would have been a sight to behold.
Well the rumors are that Half Life VR isn't actually Half Life 3 and takes place sometime before Episode 2 so if that actually comes out we'll get to see the reaction.
The reactions would be legendary. I'm sad this isn't true now. I'm not one to revel in salt but this would just be funny.
I think that had good intentions it was just very poorly executed. Valve has always been a big supporter of the mod community, from hiring modders and making new, more polished versions of their products to selling community made content in their games and giving the creators a cut.
It really should have been an optional donation system for verified mod creators where the creator makes all the money minus taxes (they have a similar system in place for TF2 map makers who have maps that go official).
Tbh I'd love Switch ports of their games. Both Portals, the HLs, even CS:GO and , hell, DOTA 2 on the Switch would be fun to see.
I was like okay this is possible. Then he said Nintendo wanted them to tease Half Life 3 at the end of the game. Like yeah sure. Glad I'm not subscribed to him.
Well, i don't necessarily disagree that they were well intentioned (I do thing it'd be good if mod makers could make some money) but their implementation, as you said, was trash. But that's sort of my point. They've had good intentions before, and fucked up.
i doubt this is real, but if it is, i'm glad they didn't go through with it. the shit show of the reactions wouldn't have been worth it.
Probably why they cancelled it. Imagine the meltdowns and the social media hate
And made a video about how one of the Portal writers returned to Valve as a full time writer, when it was false.
And made a video about Counter-Strike having an ARG, which was also fake.
VNN is not a credible source for anything.
I have an unconfirmed rumor that left 4 dead 3 is just a hat trading game. Now this is uncofirmed but my secret source and not my valve fan fiction folder say it's just hat jpgs you trade for ones you like. There will even be a TF2 cross promo item where the cool hat is in the game. Also there's hats for the guns as well
"kill me..."
hoju backs away from the baby and begins closing the closet door.
"don't leave meee..."
Ahaha.
"Why would you do this to us Steam players Gabe?"
"Look, Epic offered us devs the best deal. Competition is good."
"!?"
I very much doubt that Valve would ok a full Switch exclusive. PC and Switch, sure. Switch only, they would face a monumental shitstorm.
Thank god. Imagine the outrage because it isn't a real Half Life game.
Maybe one day Nintendo will do the right thing and approach Valve for a Half Life 3 for Switch. And help them with that.

It's silly to think a company like this cares anything more than making money. Completely silly.
If you told me Bayo and Ultimate Alliance would have switch exclusive sequels one day id say youre trolling.
But this would a super tone deaf move by valve to do.

When I pointed this out in the thread about Valve firing half their VR team a couple people tried to call me out on it. I specifically mentioned wait for other sources to report on it and take him with a grain of salt.
I like Tyler but he's a fanboy that will create clickbait and stir up hype over nothing and reports on literally any crumb of info no matter how plausible or not.
