Visualizing it like this makes it so clear how incredibly outdated this design is.

I remember the hype around the division, it looked so cool and tactical. Then the game came out and every enemy was a bullet sponge. Instantly killed any interest I had in it.

Found the trump supporter.

In telegram nothing is e2e encrypted unless you specifically ask it to be and when you do, it kills all the functionality that makes it better than others.

I grew up and decided that games have a place in my life to give experiences, you grew up and decided that they are a source of burst distractions. I guess age has nothing to do with it and it's just about personal preference.

The title promises so much, but OP's dog ate the homework and there's barely anything he can show us.

Since they are probably working on other stuff as well could this mean that Icefrog is the only lead who can take a project to completion reliably within Valve's organizational structure?

Inject this hopium into my veins.

They could just be one moba, one hero shooter and one last man standing, all online and all competitive.

Well, I guess your are right that everything is derivative. I also think some things are more alike than others and also some markets are more saturated than others. When Half-Life came out it was in a saturated market of FPSs but it also revolutionized the market. When Portal came out no one could compare it to anything other that a student project. Half-Life Alyx is still considered the no 1 most polished and complete game in the VR space. We'll see the impact that Deadlock will have I guess.

I percieve them as different to your run of the mill EA or Ubisoft, so I expect more from them. That's on me I guess. I'm not angry though, just disappointed.

The point stands that it's derivative. I'm convinced Valve can do better.

I literally swatted a mosquito the other day because it bit me while I was doing something else. I didn't feel it land, but I did feel the bite which triggered me to slap it out of existence.
