Valve going to announce something at E3 2012 with a "3" in it.

 

[Jack]

Left4Dead 3
Hat Fortress 3
Portal 3
Half-Lif3 (remake of the first HL)

 

[Don Peste]

Old and fake.

 

[Metro]

Dota 3 -- they're just going to give up on 2.

 

[Angthoron]

They'll announce that the annual E3 is now in session.

 

[Morgoth]

Valve hiring it's own economist; no other one than Greek professor Yanis Varoufakis.

Lol it seems Gabe Newell is watching RT too after all.

 

[taxalot]

Gabe should hire a nutrionist.

 

[Deleted member 7219]

A dietician, actually.

Nutritionists don't necessarily have any medical expertise and tend to be complete whackos.

 

[DraQ]

Plus Gabe seems to get enough nutrition.

Lol?

 

[Morgoth]

Tasteless.

A man of the enormous success and intelligence like GabeN shouldn't waste his time with these underachievers who can only come up with stupid teen pranks.

Valve clearly has too much money, if they can afford it to spend it on luxuries like that. A professional academic to design an MMO's in-game economy?

Bethesda might hire Gordon Ramsay to beef up the cooking feature in Skyrim.

 

[Morgoth]

Well, they do have lots of money. At least they spend it on interesting experimentations.

 

[Icewater]

Hiring a Greek dude for economic advice, what could go wrong?

 

[Infinitron]

Yanis Varoufakis

Looks like a badass.

 

[Menckenstein]

Yanis Varoufakis

Looks like a badass.

I can see why he'd want a job involving hats

 

[Morgoth]

Guy's pretty smart though.

I expect some interesting results in the future.

 

[Metro]

Valve's next project will probably be some kind of F2P MMO/ARPG. They've already seen how much cash they can rake in with microtransactions in TF2 and now DOTA2. What's more is they don't even have to design the stuff, just publish fan made designs and cut them in for like 30% or something trivially small.

 

[kingcomrade]

Well it's not exactly like F2P has been a mystery until Valve unlocked it.

Half Life: Economics

Chapter one: Dodging the taxes
Chapter two: Unintended consequences
Chapter three: On a bailout
Chapter four: Bankruptcy

 

[Achilles]

Some high-quality humor in this thread.
