HL Alyx and Dota 2 aren't of note?

• jsheard 1y ago
  Dota 2 is of note, but that was a pretty safe project being a straight remake of an already popular mod with the mods developer at the helm. Their major titles since 2012 were: CS:GO (remake of a remake) Dota 2 (remake) Artifact (flopped) Underlords (flopped) Alyx (good) Counter-Strike 2 (remake of a remake of a remake) Deadlock (early beta, but promising) They haven't completely lost the sauce, but it's rare to see the old Valve show up these days.

    Making remakes old popular mods is not a safe project.

    Cs:Go was a 'remake' of cs 1.6, which was the original cs with a lot of changes and updates, but no remake

    I think you grossly undervalue execution. Ideas are cheap. Most developers would have turned those games into weaker money extracting machines that generate one tenth the love from current players
