| Shadowblind said: This is too bad. Valve is one of those developers that goes beyond AAA status. They are gods of gaming, the reception, both critically and by the consumer supports this. |
They are! You can tell especially because whenever you read their GDC presentations their perpspective is so refreshing. That they can make accessible, innovative and fun all at the same time means a great deal to me. Who else could have made a game about Portals and puzzles which anyone could play? The greatness is not that they made the game, the greatness was that they made the game compelling and playable for everyone. People should seriously check out their developer commentry within their games!
Btw I only came back here because quoting green posts is so awesome, I was going to quote you no matter what you wrote! 
Tease.
