Though the way the leaker describes it makes it sound more like a 3rd person MOBA than a hero shooter.

Why are people angry? This is exactly the kind of game valve has worked on for the last few years.

I'm not angry, but I'm tired of live service esports games. Also the last time Valve arrived late to a trend (Artifact) it didn't turn out well.

Technically, HL1 was Valve arriving late to a trend. (FPSes)

Holy shit, I forgot about Artifact lol.

Because many of us remember before that, when Valve revolutionized the single player first person genre again and again with the Portal and mainline Half-Life games.

Any other dev would have capitalized on the massive interest in a sequel or at least sold off the property so someone else could have continued those franchises.

Yep. sigh I guess I'll go replay Portal 2 again. It really is fantastic, I should be happy that we got it when we did.

Imagine downvoting someone for saying they're going to replay one of the best single player games of all time.

The valve of yesteryear would've a great single player campaign to go together with the multiplayer, just like Half-Life.
