Basically, this is a "handbook" given out to new employees who start working in Valve. And from just the first few pages, you'll know why Valve is such an awesome company. http://cdn.flamehaus.com/Valve_Handbook_LowRes.pdf Really really inspiring and impressive stuff.   | ||

It would take a lot to make Valve fall... mostly because they're not motivated by money like Blizzard is since they can rely on Steam for revenue. It's not a matter of "put in the least amount of effort for the most amount of profit" like it is for Blizzard. It's closer to "make a good game at any cost"... something nearly all game developers have lost in the last decade. | ||

Everyone knows Blizzard went down the drains after the dissolving of Blizzard North and being merged with Activision, while Google has had problems from becoming "the dream employer company" to "just another megacorporation" as of late. | ||

They already have a better track record than Blizzard and unlike Diablo 3 or SC2 I simply can't picture HL3 being a disappointment so it's probably safe to say Valve has at least another few years of guaranteed quality left in them.
