    I also like to joke and laugh at the meme of Valve can’t do the number 3. But, honestly, I’d rather they worked on something new, creative and innovative. Counter Strike 2 is alright, but it’s the exact same game and formula from 20 years ago. It makes for more fun and compelling games when you can tell the devs are having fun coming up with something they are exited about making.

      Not at all, they have a story to finish, imagine watching Lord of the Rings the Two Towers and stopping there.

      I just want them to continue the story of Half life. Devs have left over Valve not being interested in making game anymore.

      Something like CS2 is different though, because it’s a standard. People like it that way, they’re used to playing it and they just want it modernized.

      That’s why we have AoE2, AoE2:HD and AoE2:Definitive, and also why after hundreds of years nobody decided to come up with Soccer 2: The Soccering. But we do make soccer balls out of polymers instead of animal bladders now.

      Everyone likes new compelling ideas but also there’s a space to continue support for older and popular ones.
