   Hot Take:
   Half-Life 2 is one of the most overrated games of all time and has contributed much to why the gaming industry is anemic and cancerous now.

     Counter-Strike, up to GO, and TF1 aren't Valve's creation. They were published by Valve. As an avid Counter-Strike player back in the day, CS:GO had been a net negative, with the match-making system killing off private servers.
     
     And while TF2 and Portal are good games by themselves, do you really think the trend of micro-transactions brought by the TF2 hat economy or the retarded normie-fication of gaming from the stupid Portal memes were good things?

     @SuperSnekFriend @Ace66062 CS:S was made by Valve, Turtle Rock only made some maps for the game. Maps like de_dust2 were ported to Source in-house by Valve

     You can't convince me otherwise that Valve's meta actions have been an overall net negative towards gaming as a whole. :raphpout:
     
     The only net positive thing is the promotion of Linux gaming in the last couple of years, but that is almost twenty years too late.

     @SuperSnekFriend I will give you a crumb that Valve's meta actions for video games were a double-edged sword as they completely redefined presenting narratives in video games at the cost of other developers trying to mimic and fail at what made this so impressive and enjoyable though there were still games that did it pretty well like Halo's campaign and FEAR (Halo was also a double edged sword since it lead to the trend of space marine cover shooter).
     
     And this is only talking about HL1 and 2, are CS games, TF1 and 2 and Portal 1 and 2 a "net negative" towards gaming now?
