UglyStru Posted August 9, 2017 (edited) So instead of designing something else like HL3, L4D3, even a fucking remaster of anything to Source 2, Valve decides to make yet another card game to compete with the rest. And honestly, why....? This is the last thing they needed to make. I understand Dota has such a high amount of followers, but we could really do without this. Why just add to the pile of unoriginal P2W garbage just because everyone else is doing it? (Implying Valve even has the time and energy to put into balancing and supporting a card game) I hope to god this gets scrapped. EDIT: Btw, Gwent is the only one I wholeheartedly support since it started as a minigame in one of the best western RPGs ever made. 4 Share this post Link to post
Cruduxy Pegg Posted August 9, 2017 (edited) If it is illogical is yet to be seen. Bet it'll make them a lot of money. (Just because a lot of people see a valve game and immediately decide to try it) Edit : The tf2 and YT reactions are hilarious though, especially the valve only cares about money ones. 1 Share this post Link to post
Red Posted August 9, 2017 If we're lucky it will be the first of this kind of games that doesn't suck ass. Spoilers we won't be 1 Share this post Link to post

With the heat it's getting, I don't expect it to make them nearly as much as it would if they made something the community actually wanted. 0 Share this post Link to post
wheresthebeef Posted August 9, 2017 (edited) This will make them a lot of money so it is completely logical You can argue whether it is immoral or not, however The people negatively reacting to it weren't going to be the ones targeted anyways. Spoiler I'm still hoping for a Ricochet VR game 1 Share this post Link to post
Bauul Posted August 9, 2017 It's probably just a couple of guys working on it. Everyone else is just swimming in their money. 0 Share this post Link to post
Csonicgo Posted August 9, 2017 Of course it'll be successful. A free to play game made by the creators of the most popular DRM content distribution system? No Brainer, there. 4 Share this post Link to post

They are getting a lot of positive replies by their target (Dota 2 community). The ones who are up in arms are tf2 and people screaming for l4d3\hl3. 0 Share this post Link to post

The "heat" you are talking about is actually one of the main reasons why people who play wizard-poker will also pick up the game Valve is making, because it's free PR. That being said, let me congratulate you for being a part of that unpaid PR-machine. PR aside, I've yet to see a video game that mankind really needed. By your logic, games like Torchlight shouldn't exist, because Path of exile (which by the way does have P2W aspects in it, just sayin') does exist. And Quake Champions shouldn't exist, because Overwatch exists. Next thing you're gonna tell us is that Doom shouldn't exist, because Wolfenstein exists. I don't like the way your logic "works" is what I'm saying. 0 Share this post Link to post

Flesh420 Posted August 9, 2017 15 minutes ago, Red said: Carmack was never quoted in saying this and if you could link to me where, that'd be great. The only thing he's said in a context similar to this is that "treating consoles as equals to PC was a mistake." He was referring to the release of Rage on consoles. 0 Share this post Link to post

I don't like the way your logic "works" is what I'm saying. You never like the way my logic works anyway so I don't know why you bother commenting on my posts. Anyway, we went years without CCGs like this. Within the last 12-18months, look at how many came outta f--king nowhere. If 10 ARPGs came out with Path of Exile's 3.0, I'd put up the same debate. It's not the fact that there are so many. It's the fact that so many are being made within SUCH a short period of time. I heard of 4 upcoming CCGs like this just in the last month alone.

Phade102 Posted August 9, 2017 Valve hasn't made a creative game since half life. every game they've made has either been a remake of one of their older ones, or games made of ideas people already had (Dota 2) It doesnt surprise me that they'd try to compete with blizzard, but people have long since found the hard way that competing with blizzard never works out well. 0 Share this post Link to post

Idk, Diablo 3 lost to Grinding Gear Games pretty damn hard. Overwatch slaughtered Battleborn though. 0 Share this post Link to post
Chest Rockwell Posted August 9, 2017 Non dota fans complaining about a announcement during a dota event has been pretty great. Im glad valve doesn't like you guys lol 1 Share this post Link to post
Battle_Korbi Posted August 9, 2017 Praise Valve, for while not having new games, it has surely given the community a opportunity to make some content on their own. And their tech is kinda like the new Doom, can run on shittiest laptops, Source is really a great thing. So whenever I hear news like this, I turn my head to the community, and play hl1 mods or any source mod in fact. Cheers. 0 Share this post Link to post

Cruduxy Pegg Posted August 9, 2017 TF2 is unoptimized as hell due to all the hats, no way it runs on a potato unless you butcher the settings. HL is way better optimized. 0 Share this post Link to post
