So they can have an exclusive deal giving Microsoft power?

I’m pretty sure they’re going to make enough money doing that.

Don’t they come from Antwerp?

No it is 4kb.

Thanks for incorrecting me.

I’m not here to make a point. I’m here to buy a caravan.

This is 4kb.

Just saying.

Praise be the equinox.

This is the alpha version. Be patient.

They’ll go through bones like butter.

Oh right. All those ads you saw for all those games they put out. Yeah. No, good point, valve definitely has a tradition of spending their marketing dollar just like every other company out there. If half-life 3’s coming out, we’ll probably hear about it in the Sears catalog. 🙄 What was I thinking.

What money is it spending exactly? A lease for a small building and a small town in Massachusetts? Maybe 10 grand a month? A salary for, as far as LinkedIn tells us, 2:00 to 10 individuals, we’ll call it a million dollars.

Are you telling me that Valve isn’t willing to invest 2 million dollars in advertising the most anticipated video game of all time?

What do you think valves marketing budget is?

Do you think there’s a modulation when it comes to expenditures for half-life 3 should they arise?

When was the last time you saw an ad for a valve game outside of the steam ecosystem?

Yeah… if we could stop entertaining Putins disdain and his lines we dare not cross, and start enforcing some of our own? That’d probably benefit the lives of many and only hinder the lives of very, very few.

RIP navalny and many others, man. Fuck this guy.

We are talking about HL3 as a result.

That is how marketing works.

We have a concept of a plan so as to not get hacked.

Why would it not make sense for them to do it? It is the most anticipated videogames of all time. The videogame community has basically taunted Valve saying they’re afraid to make the games and valve has been firm that fear does not guide them. So obviously they will go as big as anyone’s ever gone.

It in fact makes less sense that a biotech firm would call themselves black Mesa, and start up a faux ARG for the lulz.

This is 100% marketing an extension of the half-life universe

Going this all out? I wanna say it…
