For a game widely considered to be one of the best I find it surprising Valve hasn’t just yeeted dlc at us over the years of new content. I don’t need a story, I just need coop fun. Weird since there’s been SO MANY fan made mods.
Valve is barely a game company these days.
It’s Valve, people work on what they want to work on, and often, that’s not what gamers want them working on.
I think they expected the modding community to fill the gaps, which they have.
They barely take care of TF2, their golden child nowadays. Its got like one dev working on it, and most of his work is implementing community made stuff. And TF2 is still making them money.
Is that still a popular game? Steam says I haven’t played it since 2018.
I thought their big games were counterstrike and left 4 dead 2.
TF2 is still consistently in the top 10 most played on steam. It has has a botting problem for almost 4 years now.
Why would they? What could they offer that the hundreds of community test chambers and mods don’t?
Quality assurance and play testing.
