Oh boy the quicker this comes out the closer we are to the Holy Grail of video games.....Episode 3!!!

... they can still drag out AlienSwarm2.... then they'll be out of IPs and will be forced to make a third installment of something.

ATi_Elite4677d ago (Edited 4677d ago )

Alien Swarm and Ricochet are Valves last remaining I.P.s that don't have a number 2 or a Source behind them. (almost forgot about Day of Defeat Source)

For our sake hopefully we finally get a Valve game with a 3 after it but not Left 4 Dead or Portal. :)

To the person above me (I dont know why I can't reply to you)

Alien swarm uses the Source engine.

Valve: 'Smurfing Is Not Welcome In Dota', Bans 90,000 Accounts

Valve has spoken out forcefully against smurfing in Dota 2 after banning more than 90,000 accounts - and targeting their owners.

Fist4achin260d ago

Pardon my ignorance for never having played this, but why even have the ability to create multiple guest accounts? It seems if there is only one account per player then it would eliminate this smurfing issue.

Probably to get new players hooked on the addictive gameplay loop, more people playing = statistically more people buying battle passes.

Fist4achin260d ago

Makes sense and cents for Valve. Thanks

Why would seasoned players want to play with lower skill players anyway? Just to owned them? They’re n00bs, what’s the fun in that?

It’s like on COD where they do bad on purpose for a few rounds, to then be place with with bad players to then dominate.

This is human nature. I know people who do this in Dota2, CoD and other multiplayer games. They enjoy the dopamine rush that winning generates.
